Urgent mole referral

2 replies

Hi everyone, my sister has been urgently referred for a suspected cancerous mole, we are really worried.
I'm wondering what outcome others have had in this situation? And has it turned out to be nothing?

Just looking for some answers to try and settle her mind a little for the wait 🙏

Be grateful that sister is being seen soon. My daughter was in a similar position. Saw GP about one mole, was quickly referred and given thorough examination. Had two moles removed, one she was unable to see herself as it was under a buttock. Both biopsied and one was pre cancerous so went back for a deeper removal. All fine now but they are happy to keep an eye on her.

Try not to worry. Often the ones you think are most worrying are fine. Early referral is key..
