Hi Everyone,
I am currently waiting for the date for my WLE and SLNB for the mole removal 18th November (stage 1b). As I had that done privately due to the urgency I wasn't assigned a cancer nurse. I was then referred back to the NHS for the WLE etc . I do feel a bit lost to be honest but that's partly me who hates not knowing, would just like a date then could settle down and aim for that but a point of contact would help a lot.
The "pickle " bit....I felt the itching again (like before) on my other shoulder blade. I got my husband to take a photo...it sure is an ugly duckling of a mole so definitely needs investigation. I am trying to avoid Google but it's a bit like Pandora's box!
I do have a patient number so will try and speak to the hospital direct tomorrow. I hope to be able to explain the background.
So here I am on one of the downs of melanoma. I am getting paranoid as well being fair skinned and covered in freckles and moles. I guess we all go through that as well.
Oh Buddie21, I am so happy for you!!! You should sleep without rocking tonight 
Not as yet....so I phoned again. This time I was put through to the wrong dept 
Eventually the voice of reason came on the phone and took ownership.
1. She confirmed that I am on the system.
2. I was discussed 30/11
3. I am due to have the WLE and SLNB.
4. She gave me a direct number for the plastics team to phone tomorrow.She also gave me her direct number as a point if contact
I don't know what happened earlier but I am so grateful to this nurse for helping me . It's been s stressful day. Regarding my other mole she said it can be looked at when I get my appt.
Many thanks for your messages x
