Im so scared @Sans911
They want the spot urgently removed as in tuesday unless others cancel and i can get in earlier. They want the whole thing and as it looks like its spreading already they want more than just the top taken off then if it comes back malignanat more tests to see how far its spread then removed those areas

@outlander I know you are scared sweetheart and that's completely normal. Has it been there long? If not hopefully the can remove it all at once and it hasn't spread, and maybe, just maybe it's not a skin cancer. And if it is, we hope it's easily treatable. As hard as it is, you can afford to let this drown you. Focus on other things you have to do, like taking care of your grandfather, your sisters a mind your work. Why do you do some drawing, and relate it to the spot-do you know what I mean. Get it out of your as much as possible. Worrying excessively will just undo you. There is nothing you can do until it's removed, then you'll have to wait for the biopsy result. Im here with you @outlander. You can squeeze my hand when it gets too much.

Scared doesnt even cover it @Sans911 i cant even think of a word to match how i feel.
Thats the worrying part i dont know how long its been there for and because ive noticed it change twice its a very bad sign. Unintentionally coming off her was fear. Fear from others makes me worse and she was sending off alot of that. She pointed out 2 other points that she noticed that are really not good and are often seen in skin cancers.
Do you know how rare it is to even have something like this at this age. Shes shocked she said.
I cant draw i cant concentrate i cant drive so i cant do work my prn isnt working. I cant stop pacing. I want to throw up. My earache and earache isnt helping which she checked and its a heap of fluid build up but cant do much about it might take a few weeks to go.
I dont know what to do
My poor nails are gone already

@outlander I'm sorry you are going through this. You already have so much going on. Can you go for a long walk with your music on? You need to do something to distract yourself hun.

Don't stress about your rental inspection @Sans911.Look after yourself.

@Sans911 i dont know. I cant i dont know
I cant draw i feel stuck in my own body but i cant stop
It wont stop

Hi @outlander.

I have had melanoma and it was caught just as it turned, but it was looking quite dramatic by then ..... and it was still just in the surface of my skin.

It was quickly and easily removed, but that happened across a few weeks, so the dr's have an idea about how these things behave and how to take action over them.

I was kept under annual observation form5 years, but there were no more dramas. I do have to be conscious of being sun-safe though, and I have had pre-cancerous sun-spots burnt off occasionally, and another couple of miles removed just so I don't have the issue of keeping watch over their behaviour. I see a dermatologist annually just to check for any signs of trouble, but apart from that, it's not a worry for me.

Take courage and take care Hon ..... we're all here for you ..... 😘💋
