Feeling Scared at the mere mention of the big "C"

My consultant told me I have a Lentigo maligna on my scalp!

He is scheduling a biopsy to confirm exactly what the dark patch of skin  is.

He said not to worry at this stage, but he also said not to leave it and do nothing.

After reading the patient leaflet, I'm feeling really worried and concerned. What if the "thing" decides to become aggressive while I'm waiting for tests. Is this likely?

How are other people in this position coping?
