Being a natural red head, and sun worshipper, i give myself check overs as some of my freckles do seem to appear to have grown or enlarged. I do go see my gp if i feel any concern. Same as any odd lumps found anywhere x |

I do, I've had one removed before after being referred to the hospital. On testing it was benign.
Hopefully yours will be fine, could you see a nurse more quickly? They're prettty hot on what's normal and what's not. |

Receptionist just said a Doctor. I did ask about a nurse, just have 2 new ones that dont look right and the 3rd one has changed a bit.
Oddly though they are on my upper tummy just under where my bra goes.. so not the normal back, neck, face, arms n legs.. |

"Never
I haven't seen a doctor since I had my last child over 15 years ago
Are you against going to the Doctors or never in your life been ill?"
I just don't take medication so I see no point going if I'm just going to turn down what he gives me, that's just clogging up the system |

Is your GP aware that there is a family history of cancer, it should be noted in your records if it isn't already. Have you explained why you want to see the GP? If you can't get an appt you could try asking for a GP to call you, that way you can voice your concern and if they think you need to be seen sooner they will say so. All surgeries should offer this service especially if you have genuine cause for concern. Hope it is all ok x |
