Hi all.
Where to begin...... M66 and in Cambridge and had refferal from GP to go for Teledermatology appointment for 'urgent suspected cancer'.
Have had a mole on my chest for many years, was happy and all looked and felt fine until one evening lazing on the sofa watching a film and enjoying a kit kat until I brushed off some crumbs (it happens) when I felt a lump, first thought was I had been bitten but on further examination the mole had gone rogue and didn't look like it always had. Next day filled in the online form for GP practice and waited for reply, the reply was to be fair pretty quick and requested pictures. Not easy taking a chest selfie while at work, after many attempts a picture was deemed ok on a Friday afternoon at 4.30pm. By the Monday I was fast tracked for a teledermatology appointment (was impressed by the speed) so now on Tues 1st Sept I start the long road. Just as a side issue I had a squamous cell carcinoma way back in 1987, major op then and been clear since. Being positive but also realistic.
