So I contacted my nurse on Tuesday morning about another mole that I’m concerned about! It has changed in colour and size slightly and has been itchy recently! One of her support workers eventually got back to me today! She suggested that I contact my doctor and if they think it needs investigated then they’ll refer me!
Seen doctor late this afternoon who is red flagging me for a referral back to dermatology! It might be nothing as it was checked a few weeks ago but I’m concerned about the change!

Hi
It's no wonder that you're feeling low having become worried about a mole that you've noticed has changed.
Looking back through your previous posts I can see that you live in Northern Ireland where I think the system for reporting concerns must be slightly different to the rest of the UK. I was told not to contact my GP if I found anything of concern but to contact my SCNS who would then make an appointment to see a consultant within a few days. I have had to put this to the test twice and, thankfully, it was nothing to be worried about. Hopefully, yours will also be okay but it's natural to expect the worse.
Let us know how you get on with dermatology and do you have a date for your WLE yet?

That's awful that you've been made to feel that you just have to get on with it . No wonder you're feeling low.
I know that you've got to explain your diagnosis to your daughter today but I'm sure it'll be great to spend time with her again. You can always point her in the direction of the Macmillan website if she wants to read about melanoma and it's treatment.
