Third time unlucky?

Hi Max2023 welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear what has Been happening for you..That's a shocker that the receptionist left you hanging like that. Can you call back and ask to speak to the GP directly as they may be able to tell you more. I would say to the GP about the call you have had and how confusing this has felt for you. If you felt that it would help to speak with someone directly then please do give the Macmillan Line a call and ask for their advice. 08088080000. Best wishes and I Hooe that you get some clarity for you. Gail

HI Gail, I tried asking before if I could pass a message onto the doctor because I could not get an appointment for over a month, and was told that I could, but having the doctor read the message would classify as an appointment so they wouldn't anyway.

Just had a notice pop up on the NHS app that I have a pending referral to dermatology which should be reviewed by 9th September.

Hi Max2023 

I don’t think in your case the gp will be able to be much help, as they’ve just sent the photos to dermatology. The message has given you a timeframe for dermatology to review, so the gp’s involvement for now is done.

It must be making you extra anxious having had a misdiagnosis of melanoma before and the waiting is tough, but I hope you’ll eventually get reassuring news.

Been offered a Face to Face appointment with Dermatology tomorrow (19/07/2025). I have accepted, but it stipulated that it is for one lesion only. Good things are moving

That’s good news you haven’t had a long wait Max2023 

I hope you’ll get good news tomorrow, but please do come back and let us know how you get on.

Hi,

sorry for the slight delay in getting back. I had the appointment with a Doctor last week and was told I had four raised moles but nothing of concern, so no further action. I will keep a metaphoric eye on them going forward

Hi Max2023 

Thanks for coming back with such a good update-I’m glad that nothing of concern was found.
