Good morning Pip93
Sorry, it will not let me reply to your last 2 messages, perhaps I have used all my mithering up on this forum.
I can't even see / find your message about the problems with your mum anymore it's gone missing.
Anyway, I don't think you were being to harsh at all, it is probably what I needed i.e a kick up the backside.
When talking to my wife about it last night, and I said "perhaps they are not rushing it because there is no hope anyway", she said she "l never heard anything so ridiculous" "I think they know what they are doing" "there are alot more people out there with much urgent needs than you"
The thing is Pip93, you and my wife are so right and I am being really selfish, I am sorry for being so selfish.
I was just worried in case that if by any chance it had not spread to the lymph nodes etc, it has another month to do so.
Please accept my apology, you have much bigger things going on in your life right now.
I would also like to apologise to all the other brave people out there for my selfishness.
Thank you for the kick up the behind Pip93.
All the best to you and your mum for the future.
Please take care, and sorry again.

Hi.
It is a long wait isn't it.
I suppose I expected it all to be done with 2 to 3 weeks, how wrong am i
At least I know what it's all about with the waiting time now.
My letter didn't say urgent, it just said plastic surgeon appointment, but did not really say if I would have a wider excusion on that date.
My head is all over the show.
I wish you all the best for the futur.

Hi Pip.
Hope you and your family are keeping well .
Just thought I would keep you updated.
Been to see my SCN this morning , she was a lovely lady.
We had a long chat, they checked my lymph nodes they are ok at the moment.
Checked my skin again that was ok at the moment.
I feel a bit more at ease, but still quite worried.
Just just have to wait for my appointment at the Christie on the 9th Nov now to see the plastic surgeon consultant about WLE, SLNB etc.
Thank you Pip.
Take care
