Mole removal

Last reply: 18 July 2024 16:38

Hi, I had 2 moles removed privately 8 weeks ago now, I was sent a letter for a review appointment 2 weeks ago and I am very worried
I tried to ring the consultant 2 weeks ago when I received the lettter but he’s off on holiday for 2 weeks
Is a review appointment normal for private patients?
Thank you

Dear MarleyG3,

Thank you for posting and I hope that you are keeping and recovering well after having the moles removed.  It is very common to feel worried when you receive a letter to see a doctor to discuss results, however this is normal practice and is not indicative of any particular outcome.

The doctor will discuss with you what these results are and may also want to check the wound sites.

Please do phone us if you would like to speak with a cancer nurse on 1800 200 700, we are here Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

Kind regards,

Cancer Nurse.
