Hi,

Im 27, female and worried about skin cancer. I went to the GP around two weeks ago to have them look at two of my moles. They are both bigger than my other moles and funny shapes. They have changed over the years but i think this has coincided with when i have gained weight lol. They are on my breast and hip. 

The gp said he doesnt think they are anything to worry about but best to get them checked so he put me on the 2 week pathway for suspected melanoma. 

Last thursday i had a medical photogrophy appointment and was told the dermatologist will either review and discharge or review and make an appointment.

I called the derm and told them i go on holiday from the 31st too the 7th.

I have just checked my nhs app and there is an appointment with derm on the 16th. No letter on there yet.

I am worrying because i think an appointment means they found my photos concerning.

I suffer from health anxiety and i am really trying not to catastrophise or spiral.

Any advice from someone who has been through the same would be really really appreciated

Thanks
