Hi Cheryl,
If your mole is potentially melanoma, and with the changes you say happening your GP should be treating it as such, then you should be seen within the 2 week guidelines laid down by NICE. Get back on to your GP and the hospital.
As someone with melanoma, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that it turns out to be nothing serious.
Hope the gp surgery kicks ass down at the hospital, and you get an appointment this week. If not, keep pestering them as you are obviously going to worry yourself into an illness if you are not seen soon. Hopefully it will turn out not as serious as you are fearing, and you are definitely doing the right thing pursuing it immediately you notice a change. Wishing you the very best of luck. xxxx Penny
Let's hope that this turns out with a very happy ending, but if any problem is shown up, I think maybe you should think about complaining. I have read that the NHS have been having serious problems with their x-million-pound computer system, and you may have been one of the victims of that, losing your details. This has caused you even more stress.
