I have just got home from have a mole excised at dermatology.
 I have been keeping an eye on a mole on my back for a few years my 
GP sent a photo to dermatology for an opinion. I was given an appointment for last week 
and the Dr I saw looked at it with her magnifying glass and then let her colleague look. 
She sat me down and said that it was melanoma. I asked does that mean I have cancer she said it did. 
We were due to go away for a few days but she said to cancel that as it had to be removed urgently. 
This morning I went along for the surgery feeling terrified about what was ahead of me. The doctor I saw had no notes from my
 last appointment just my photos. He said that it didn't look serious at all and that a diagnosis couldn't be made 
without a biopsy. At this point I felt totally overwhelmed and emotional. I have told my family I have cancer. 
I have had a week from hell worrying. I don't know what to believe. The first doctor is apparently very experienced
 did she see something different. I don't know what
to think. I now feel like a fraud for telling people
and have another two weeks of doubt ahead of me.
