subungual melanoma

hi my names stacey i am new to the site, 

 

past few years my GP been sending me home with anti fungal medication for my sore toes.

last year a mole fell off and left my skin a horrible patch

my thumb nail and others started "pealing" cracking in half, many small issues i thought were due to having fake nails too much. i stopped having shellac and started noticing a black line growing up, 

after time the big toe was painful i couldn't walk and the black line was from tip to cuticles.

the thumb on the right had. 

i am now waiting to have a biopsy have you been in this situation? have you any advice? 

did anyone ever not have cancer like bob marley off the background of a black line? 

 

reaching out to see if i can get any information, i panic a bit when the pain is sore like today.

  • Hello Stacey, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
