Really concerned!

Hey all, I've been browsing these pages for the last 10 days since a mole I have raised concerns at the doctors.

i went for 2 separate moles. I'm covered in moles BTW so it's impossible to keep track. The doctor was fine with them but raises a concern about another. My mum raised concern about it in my early 20s (I'm 43 next week) but had forgotten all about that until the doctors visit.

I am a pretty mind over matter person, I don't panic easily. I am however pretty much resigned to the fact that this is the start of a journey I don't want to be on. I'm not normally negative, so I believe there is some intuition just going on. I'm not really sure why I am posting this, I've told one friend, and I don't want to tell anyone else and the thought of telling my parents about a negative diagnosis is even worse that getting a negative diagnosis! I just all of a sudden feel like I'm looking down a barrel of a shotgun. Sorry this is a ramble, just needed to vent without the upbeat pity and more understanding than I would get from my loved ones

  • Hi rhi_rhi1982,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm glad that you've found the forum, as a safe space to write things down especially when you may not feel comfortable speaking to those around you.

    I'm not sure if you have an appointment coming up, but hopefully it won't be long to wait before you get the information you need.

    I know that the uncertainty and waiting is never easy so I hope you find out more soon.

    Try to take things a day at a time, and in the meantime hopefully you'll get more replies to your post here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
