Scared - just been diagnosed with skin cancer

I’ve just been diagnosed with skin cancer, wasn’t prepared for it to be honest, thought the dr would say it was just a cyst! 
I didn’t ask any questions, I’m on a waiting list now, don’t know how long the list is so in the meantime I’m stressing about this thing growing, it is slightly painful at times, any advice would be greatly appreciated! 
thanks in advance x

    Hi Wraggy,

    We can't advise you without knowing which type of skin cancer you have been diagnosed with - melanoma, basal cell or squamous cell? They have different waiting times & different treatment types so it's important to know which one you are suffering from.
