Thanks for your replies.

No, I don't have an iPhone and there is only one surgery option as where I live is quite rural.  The surgery doesn't have a website and the pharmacy is in the same building as the surgery.  The lady I spoke to today did assure me that I should be able to be seen within a week max though, which is a lot better than a month. 

CLKD, I like the area I'm living in, but my living circumstances are quite precarious.  I'm acting as a live in companion/carer - I hate it as the lady I look after is really difficult, but I can't afford to move out and I have no job security or alternative accommodation, so if I need any major treatment I don't know what will happen.  Just have to wait and see.

Is she difficult because she's in a trapped situation too?  Many people become difficult when they lose control of their life style  :-\.  My Mum is difficult 4 other reasons  ::)

Do you have other support which is important?  You are entitled to days off, holiday and sick pay - in effect this person is an employer.  It's a very grey area in the UK ...........

Very relieved.  I rang at 8am and managed to get an appointment for later this morning.  The doctor who looked at it said it was just a sebaceous cyst over the mole and nothing to worry about.  She was very helpful in giving advice of what to look for and said I did the right thing by coming in as she'd rather check 20 moles that were ok than have 1 person with a malignant one stay home rather than 'bother' the doctor.

Thank you so much for your support ladies.  Although I didn't need to worry, without your encouragement I would have waited a month and worried for a month too!

Dorothy - so pleased all was OK and the doctor made you feel comfortable about wanting to have things checked. Peace of mind is terribly important. Do keep posting.  DG x

Slightly off topic but in reply to CLKDs mention of her husbands gout try googleing 'statins and gout'.

I think you will find it interesting CLKD.

A real meander - I did, didn't tell me much so have asked a pharmacist friend to delve deeper.

I thought of you this morning Dorothy as I was waking up ........
