I'm 25, afab, and I found a mole under my right breast when doing a self-check. I have never used sunbeds, and I don't spend much time in the sun. No family history of skin cancer as far as I am aware!
I went to the GP to get it checked, and she sent a photo to the dermatologist, and checked my lymph nodes, and said she could feel them in the right armpit. I've checked them myself and I don't think they move when I poke them which is a bad sign, but I'm not entirely sure what that should feel like!
I have spent the past two days in almost constant panic, feels like I've read every page on the internet about melanoma and lymph node metastases! I wish there were articles about how frequently it's NOT cancer...
I missed a call from the GP yesterday evening, and when I phoned back today was told she would be in touch on Thursday (today is Tuesday). This hasn't helped my anxiety.
Please help! I feel like I have self-diagnosed stage IIIc melanoma and given myself a very poor prognosis.
