Introduction

Hi I’d like to say I was treated for a whole year for non healing wound on my big toe taking 2 lots of antibiotics every week plus dressings untill I had my biopsy. Yes I had later stage 2 nodular cancer the next week I had to have my toe amputated whilst I was awake that was in 2017. I now have lots of immune illnesses due to antibiotics. I would really need help with my confidence. I’ve got to go back to see doctor as I have a crumbly mole that’s itching and getting bigger on my back so I’m hoping not returned. Hello everyone.

    Hi,

    Joanne has given you lots of good advice. Please, please get your mole checked out by your GP. The quicker it's checked the quicker it can be dealt with. If it is melanoma it won't be a spread of your earlier nodular melanoma but will be another primary. This means that, caught quickly, there is more chance of another successful outcome.

    I know you've been left with immune problems but melanoma treatment has got better since you were diagnosed 6 years ago so, having beaten this once, you have a great chance of beating it again (if it's malignant which it may not be). I've had several dodgy moles removed over the years but only the first one was melanoma so hopefully yours will be fine.

    Good luck and please let us know how you get on,

    Angie, Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009
