Upset over mole removal

LT13

Last Thursday, I had a mole on my arm removed that's been sent for a biopsy for a possible melanoma and I'm awaiting the results (2-4 weeks)

 

I got the stitches removed today and feel so upset that its been removed. I have no idea why I feel like that as it wasn't even a full 1cm wide or anything but I look down now and it's like it's not my arm. I have well over 30 moles but that one was one of the more pronounced ones and one of the ones I've had for the longest.

 

Sorry for the long post, just looking for a space safe zlx

    Hello [@LT13]‍ i am awaiting results too it's been 3 weeks almost and was told to wait 2 to 3 weeks. 
     

    i understand how you feel about the mole. I had 2 removed one of them being a mole that I didn't expect to be removed and told by my dr it needs taking out for analysis as it's suspicious. It's in the middle of my back so I never saw it or could properly check it. I do have some scars now and I'm upset because I also have hysterectomy scars too.

     

    im waiting on a call tomorrow from my drs as spent most of today chasing them but my dr has been busy on call. 
    Hopefully I get some news soon!
