I have this thing under my skin on my leg. Had it for years, it is ugly but it has been checked over by four different doctors.
I went back today to ask for it to be removed because its ugly. The GP said it's just a scar under the skin but agreed to remove it in five months time, then he will send it to the lab.
The lab???? I nearly cried at that point. He told me that it isn't a cancerous lesion and if they thought it was cancer or even suspicious I would get it removed within two weeks, they wouldn't make me wait for five months.
So I asked again if it is cancer because why else would they send it to the lab? he just said to confirm it but it isn't cancerous or even suspicious.
Four other doctors said it wasn't suspicious either, but one did measure it. The others wouldn't refer me to have it removed because it just wasn't suspicious but this doctor said normally he wouldn't either but he doesn't mind putting my name on the list as it's a minor procedure if it bothers me.
So now instead of being happy that the ugly thing will be gone in five months time I'm worrying that they really think it is cancer because of the lab thing
