Hello,

I went to the doctors last week to get a couple of moles checked.  One was OK but the other needed a second opinion as there was a few different colours and they're concerned about a darker area.  At the end of the appointment I also asked the GP about a lump I'd noticed on the right side of my neck but was told it's glands / from when you have a virus as a child. I'm 28 and have only recently noticed the lump - I also thought glands were more at the front of your neck?

I got home and did the worst thing and went onto Google.  I am really worried that the lump is lymph nodes and the mole (on my lower leg) is cancerous which has spread.   Is this possible or would the lump not appear on my neck first if it had spread?

I was referred to dermatology for the mole within the 2 week timeframe and have my appointment next Friday (the 13th..).

I am such a worrier and wanted to hear if others had experienced similar or know whether the two could be linked.

Thanks so much,

Kathryn
