Had to amend due to typo in title! Same post!
Hi,
Just needed to type this down I think. I know there is nothing anyone can do.
My mole biopsy is due Tuesday. The closer it is getting, the more anxious I am feeling. The original Derm said he didn't think it was melanoma, the GP didn't seem overly concerned, the plastic surgeon said it definitely is melanoma, the second dermatologist I went to to do a full body skin check wouldn't commit!
In my head, I'm just waiting for staging, but as you can imagine, I'm on stage 3!! If I'm lucky. I'm psycho analysing everything. I ticked ALL the ABCDE's.
The real fear for Tuesday is when they go to remove the mole, would it have gone too deep and they tell me they couldn't get it all? I've no idea what to expect, but of course, my anxiety makes me expect the absolute worst!
I don't know how long I've left this! It's a pre-existing 'freckle' that has very gradually changed! So I couldn't say whether this is an early change or not in all honesty. But I just hope that when the plastic surgeon said, once it is out, it's out, is true, and the worse case is the WLE to remove further healthy tissue to reduce the chance of recurrence!
I am so focused on the area that it's irritating! It didn't before!!
The good news is, all other moles on my body are perfectly normal! I'll take that for now.
