Good morning.
It looks and sounds like i have a Melanoma.
It is / was in the top half near enough round the back of my inner thigh on the left hand side, but doing the math's i might of had it for approx 3 to 5 years, i don't know how long as i didn't notice it with the part of the thigh i had it in.
2 of my GP`s said it was nothing to worry about and when i went back for a 3rd time as it had grown outwards with a crust on it, my doctor said it looked like a Seborrheic Keratosis but still sent me for an urgent referral.
The dermatologist said she was concerned, but it could still be a funny wart, but i could tell by her face it was definitely melanoma.
I had the biopsy that day and was told it would be about 2 weeks before the results, those results were due on the 26th September, so i called up and they said not results back as yet and it can take up to 4 to 6 weeks , which i read as it is definitely Melanoma and with me having it for god knows how long i don't see a good outcome at all.
I did see another post on here saying about tingling sensation, i do have that in the outer side of my thigh, but got diagnosed with arthritis a few years ago in my hips and i could not lie down on a bed and sitting down was really painful so i had to lie on the solid floor, the doctors again a few years ago the tingling was because of my arthritis, but i don't know what to believe now.
Also i have tingling / numbness in both sets of toes, but i do have type 2 diabetes, so not sure if it could be that.
Looking at all the things i have read on here and on line, it does not look good at all.
My appetite is all over the show, my sleep is all over the show, it is on my mind all the time, i have become so down with the whole thing.
Thank you.
Simon
