I’m ok thank you for asking. but sadly im on my 3rd melanoma in fact last one was Diagnosed a year ago and the same depth as yours almost in situ. I’m up to my 40 biopsy now , but been mainly mildly displastic. im 37 and never ever thought was going happen to me. But here I am 5 years on and hoping and praying no more in the future but it’s just so scary but I’m learning to live with it , there’s not much else i can do but just look after my skin and keep up with the checks.
oh no are you! I’m sorry about that, definitely not a nice thing for you to keep going through but also keep in mind you will catch them nice and early now as you will be checked and also you will be on guard yourself!!
have yours all been stage 1a? How thick were they I’ve just had my wise excision and my first skin check two moles are on watch but I know they have been there for years and not changed. The melanoma itself was different I’d say it had been slowly growing for around almost 3 years.
feel free to private message me if you prefer it’s nice to talk to someone
