Hello guys.
I recently had a Biospy and the waiting for the results is killing me. It's severely affecting my mental health,I cant eat,I have no motivation to do anything.
How it started?
Well I'm 36,always tan quite easily and haven't really been Afraid of the sun. Spent some time in Australia too,but used Sun cream alot out there.
I recently got sunburnt in the UK,and then ran to work with a backpack on that weight 15kgs. I had a mole on my back,and it rubbed and rubbed. It was quite sore,so the next day I took a photo and sent it to my GP. Whislt I was at it,I had noticed over the last 2 years one on my chest had slowly got bigger,around 6mm. But never gave me any issues,just looked like a pretty normal mole.
I saw a doctor within a week,and she checked all my moles and said they looked fine. I then received an appointment to see a dermatologist.
I went there,and they looked at the mole on my back that has been rubbing..they weren't concerned by that one,but said they will remove it.
They also looked at the one on my chest, and another on my back with a dermoscope. They said they didn't look bad,but they will remove them anyway just to be on the safe side incase they become bad later on.
I asked them if I had anything to worry about,before I left as I'm guessing they would have see alot of moles in their time!? But they assured me I didn't.
There was a young girl where I am from that died from Malonama stage 4 after getting a mole checked,and being told it was ok. 2 years later she was diagnosed.
So ATM I have massive concern's..I'm worried for my daughter,who is only 2 that she will grow up with out her daddy. My mum also died of Cancer 10 years ago,not skin related, but has imbedded a massiey fear of it to me.
So I have now been googling symptoms, comparing moles online for the last 2 nights. I can't sleep. I've convinced myself I already have stage 4 cancer.
I don't know what to do!
