How soon did your appointment come through?

I have an itchy cracked mole not my back. The doctors is referring me to a dermatologist and said I should get an appointment within 2 weeks. Just want to ask how did you get your appointment? Was it through post or did someone from the hospital ring you? I was referred on Monday and I know it's only Wednesday but sick with worry. I can't even seem to focus on getting ready to go back to work (I'm a teacher) in September.

  • Thank you many786

    yes it's just all a big shock and the what ifs especially as the mole has been there years. Now I'm sat thinking maybe it has itched before too and I've not taken much notice with being busy at work. What if it is cancer and it's spread. I know I need to stop with the negativity maybe I feel like this because I haven't told anyone about this. I'm just all over the place. 

  • Hi [@Helv]‍ 

    ive sent you a friend request. Hope your results come back clear. Are you planning on telling school when you go back? Even if it's just for some support? 

  • Hi 

     

    Hope you are ok.  I had a call from my GP today as they have to check my stitches net week and take them out the week after.  They also scheduled atelephone consulatation on Monday as I explained how anxious I am.

     

    Not sure what to do about school, think I will have to tell them as I may still have the stitches in my forehead.  

    I checked on my last mole removal and it took 3 weeks for the biospy results and then about a week for teh letter to reach me but who knows with COVID situation.  My hospital is working 7 days.

     

    I still keep googling and I know I shouldnt to compare the skin lesions.

     

    I have tried to keep myself abit buiser how about you?
