I had a new mole show up on my back when I was pregnant 3 years ago, I foolishly believed that this was totally normal and didn't think anything of it at all.
I recently began watching a doctors programme and melanoma was mentioned. So I booked in to get it checked. The GP wasn't concerned but sent photos over to dermatology anyways. I was called in a few days later and they took one look at it, and I recall the words 'active lesion, globular pattern and different colours' being used. It was then removed. The dermatologist doing the procedure told me that he thinks it was 'borderline' I haven't a clue what this means but he followed it up with he doesn't think it is advanced. Does this mean he believes it could infact be melanoma just from looking at it?
I have two sons under 3 years old, one of who is autistic and I'm really struggling with the unknown. There is so much of it surrounding my family, and they really need me. I just can't get out of this negative headspace now. I mean I left the thing for 3 years before getting it checked it. Does that dramatically decrease my chances of survival if it is melanoma? Sorry for ranting and thank you for your time and patience xxx
