I've not been diagnosed , but have been driving myself crazy joining groups for information. I originally went to my GP about a lump that had been there for around 2 years . I've now found multiple bumps on my face , one on my leg and one on my breast . I'm feeling really anxious now because I've known they were there but didn't think anything of them.
I received a text a week after gp appointment saying that they've received my gp referral for dermatology and has been triaged as urgent.
Now I guess it's a waiting game for the appointment. Anyone from Northern Ireland ? How long have you waited?
Hi Doolallydancemum42 and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is an informative and supportive place to be.
It's natural to be more aware of your body when you've found one lump. I know you've only been referred because of the one you showed your GP, but please do show the dermatologist the other areas of concern you have.
Hopefully you won't have too long to wait
((hugs))
