Hi  MustangSally, I've just read your post and I'm.sorty to read about your mole on your foot,and your GPS  concern about it.

I can understand why you are worrird ,as a 2ww referal is excactly that ,it should be a two week wait,not as long as you have been given to wait. If it was me I'd be ringing my Gp and letting him know that the appointment you've been given is concerning you,as you was expecting to be seen within the two week period, as that was your GPS wish. I'd ask them if they could contact who ever your mebt to be seeing about this, or  at least contact the secretary  to see if your appointment can be moved forward. 

Hope you can be seen quicker, and get this sorted. Good luck with evetything,  and do let us know how things go .x

Just a minor update to say that I did call the GP with my concerns about it being over the 2 week wait and they said it was due to "COVID catch up" and services are very behind... She said that the 1st June was actually one of the quickest referral dates she's had back for a patient! She said not to worry too much as "cancers on the feet are very slow growing and you're a spring chicken, age is on your side!" :shocked: She did say that after looking at the picture I had sent in via the online portal she said they will definitely remove it for biopsy. I will update again once I have my appointment so anyone going through the same journey will have some kind of reference... x
