Hi, about 6 weeks ago my daughter scratched my nose and made it bleed. It all appeared to heal and was fine. Then at the start of the month I got a big pimple there. I left it alone and waited for it to go. It didn't and I got impatient so decided to squeeze it (I know, I know!) But when I examined it, it didn't seem like a normal spot. I booked it to the doctors and was told it matches some of the criteria of squamous skin cancer. I was given an urgent referral (my appointment is tomorrow) but have been Googling (yeah, I know) and I'm petrified. I've had lots of sunburns when I was growing up - sun cream wasn't that high on my parents agenda, more, Chuck a t shirt on to cover up once I was bright red! Ive got fair skin and blue eyes. I've got lots of freckles, I'm worried some of them could be cancerous, plus a new smooth shiny patch on my thumb knuckle that's developed since my appointment. I'm so scared it will be cancer and be a bad prognosis. I have 4 children and I'm petrified I'm going to die and leave them, or have surgery on my face that will leave them scared of me (vain I know). I don't know what I'm after really, sorry for the huge off load.
