  • Hello Bono

    I'm sorry to hear that your GP has referred you to see a specialist as they believe you may have melanoma. I know that many of our members will understand how difficult this period of waiting for appointments and tests can be and it's understandable that you're feeling scared about things. 

    It may help to talk things through with one of our nurses. I'm sure they will be able to offer you some advice and support whilst you're waiting for your appointment. If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
