Something’s not right

hurry up time im petrified!

hurry up time im petrified!

So on wednesday I went to see my gp about a skin spot I was finding to be quite suspicious and the news turned out to be not what I expected.
They want the spot surgically removed urgently 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


the worrying part s I 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.

Im so scared and it seems like tuesday is taking forever to get here. Its really not easy to sit with and accept. Im bloody pertrified!

Hi @outlander, sounds like you have been through a lot lately.

It sounds like what you are going through it extrmely scary especially since you have so many un-answered questions. And the waiting is especially hard because you probably have so many thoughts running through your head and as humans, we always think the worst.

A few years ago, my son was in hospital and they thought he had leukamia (had all the symptoms of it). Thankfully it wasn't but the overnight wait we had for results was one of the worst nights of my life and of course I letting my mind fear the worst.

I can say to try and keep yourself occupied and distract yourself, however I know that it is a lot easier said than done, and if I was in your position, I would probably be freaking out too.

But I can (and probably a lot of other on here) try and support you as much as possible in anyway you need for as long as you need

Ive been through alot yes but this is one of the worst waits ive ever had! Apparently its rare to find this in younger people. Im hoping that with the surgury they can get it with no other surguries required but thats the scary part. I literally have no answers. I cant really get anywhere until its taken out aend for tests and have other tests done.

Its freaking me out!!

Breathe @outlander Breathe.

I have no doubt that it is freaking you out and I am not for one minute going to say I know how you feel, because I don't.

The waiting around scares us the most and unfortunately no one can give you those answers you really want and need until next week.

So maybe take it day by day or even hour by hour until then. Is there something you can do tonight to ease your anxiety around this?

I don't sleep much so will be around most of the night if you want to chat, and it could be about anything you want.
