Mole on my scalp

Hi 

I was just wondering if someone could give me some advice just to put my mind at ease . I was referred to the dermatologist a couple of weeks ago for the mole on my scalp and my doctor said she wasn't to concerned and it's just better to get a second opinion  but at the dermatologist they cut some of the mole out to do tests but again they told me it's just routine and they said it will take 4-6 weeks for the results. I then got a phone call today which is 2 weeks after I was last there to say the dermatologist wants to see me again on Wednesday but they couldn't tell me anymore just to see if anyone has been in this position before ? Thanks in advance 

  • Hi Mc4 and welcome to the community.

    I'm sorry no-one was able to get back to you before your appointment today but I hope it goes well and good news comes your way.

    If you have any questions after your appointment you're welcome to give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,

    thanks very much , I got bad but great news at the same time and I have came away happy as it's melanoma at a very early stage so obviously it's not great but it sounds like a simple procedure and it will be ok , thanks for the reply
