Worried about Skin Cancer

Hello! I've written here before but currently have some news on what's been going on. So i had a mole shaved off about a month ago now and hadn't heard anything since. 

A nurse from the hospital has called me today to say that i don't have skin cancer. However they want to do a wider exicision? What does this mean? If it isn't a skin cancer why is this necessary?

She said it won't take long but could leave a permanent scarr which im not fussed about i'm just scared at what could be found?

I'm terified now!! someone please help put my mnd at ease!

Thanks Becky xx

  • Hello RebeccaB,

    It's encouraging that a nurse has called you and said you don't have skin cancer so it's good to try and focus on that. It may be that a wider excision has been recommended as a precaution, but the best thing to do if you want more information is to contact the hospital.

    I hope it goes ok,
