Hello, I am new to these discussions, and am feeling anxious. I was diagnosed with melanoma cancer , stage 2,on the 9th December.

After a mole was removed from my back on the 19th November,my original appointment was on the 14th October, but it was cancelled!. I was then referred for a scan on my lymph nodes that were nearest to the cancer, being in my armpit, I also had a biopsy, as the lymph nodes were showing up enlarged. I was given the confirmation on the 23rd December, that the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes and that I was now stage 3, I was then referred for an MRI brain scan on the 26th December and a full body CT scan on the 2nd January, to confirm whether the cancer had spread to anywhere else. I was anxious waiting for the results, because my thoughts were, if my cancer can spread in such a short time, what is it doing now and nothing is being done to stop it. So I rang my cancer nurse on the 9th January, she said she had the results back and that the scans showed no sign that the cancer had spread anywhere else and that it remains in my lymph nodes, in my armpit, and that she will liaise with specialists to discuss what treatment is best for me and that she would speak to me next week. In the meantime I was sent a referral appointment to a hospital in East Grinstead, a plastic surgeon, for the 23rd January So my anxious thoughts and questions are- should I be seeing a consultant that is a cancer specialist? And how soon will I be receiving treatment? Why am I not receiving some kind of treatment by now? Please help
