Skin cancer

I had a mole removed 2 months ago and after a lot of different answers from the hospital ranging from me having no cancerous cells to having pre cancerous cells now they have said they are treating it as stage 1b melanoma, I am very worried as I don't know if I truly believe them, I am going to Christies on Monday so this can be explained to me and I'll find out if I am going to have a lymph node biopsy, I am so worried and frightened. My family and friends are saying the right things but nothing is helpful right kow

  • Hi

    Be reassured that they are taking no chances with your health and thinking of doing further tests to rule out any spread of your disease. Also this cancer is completely curable when caught early at stage 1. You have a good social circle and friends to help you through this so dont be too proud to take up any offers of help. The fact that you have told them all is a very good too. As repeated often on this forum take one step at a time, it is good advice. Kim
