Hi everyone

This is my first post on here, came across it while googling.

So here is my story so far.

Last July (2020) i went ot my gp with a small lump under the skin on my upper arm, i had had this lump for a week or two so i knew it wasnt a basic spot under the skin as not clearing, the gp advised me its all ok and should dissapear. By December 2020 this was now a growth on the outside of my arm like a blister, which started to get painful, after the xmas break i contacted the surgery and spoke to a doctor who then refered me to the dermatrologist dep who i had an appointment with in less than 2 weeks. At the appointment the doctor examined the growth and said it was a basal cell carsinoma BCC (sorry for the bad spelling) he wanted the growth removed there and then and was sending it away for the normal testing.

Two weeks after the dermatrologist phoned to say it was a strange one and was sending it to a sarcoma MDT fot a second opinion. Weeks have now gone on and on no contact so i phoned my gp surgery to say that they had been informed that the growth removed could be a amalunotic melanoma or possibly a spindal cell tumor, and i was been refered for a ct scan. There are also braf tests been carried out on my removed tissue,

I had the ct scan last week, so i guess now is a waiting game to see when i hear back. 

We are now 7 weeks almost 8 weeks from the first appointment with the hospital and having it removed and i still dont know if it is deffinetley cancer or what type of cancer. Its really heartbreaking. 

I just feel i have not been kept informed what so ever which makes this full process so much harder i am 31 and have two young chldren under 3 years old. I know we are in a pandemic but surly there should be more information and contact through this process.

Has anyone else experiennced anything similar?

Thanks
