Metastatic Melanoma after mole excision

Hi All, 

I am looking for some advice.  I had a mole removed a few weeks ago that has come back as melanoma.  I have been referred to the hosptial and am waiting my appointment.  In the meantime I have booked a private appointment which is tomorrow.  I needed to get my test restults and on the results it says confirmed deposit of 'Metastatic Melanoma'.  I am now absolutely petrified as researching this is the worst type of skin cancer and likelhood of spreading if it hasn't already is high.

Has anyone experienced the same as me?  What will they want to do next?  I am so scared I have 2 babies and can't take my mind off of it.

Any help will be much appriciated. 

Thank you 

  • Hi AFEI,

    I'm sorry you haven't received a reply up to now - I hope that that the appointment went OK today and that you now have a little more information to answer some of your questions.

    In terms of what may be next, it will be your doctor or specialist who will be best placed to advise on this, so do keep discussing with them to get the information you need.

    Meanwhile if others here have similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
