So, I had a real health scare a few weeks ago, which involved a blood blister like lesion which was biopsied. I had pretty much written my will, you know how it is. Turned out to be benign, just some medical mystery. The relief was beyond anything I have ever felt, the doctor was sure it was something so he took it right away before a trip I was taking to Europe. They kindly gave me the biopsy results just as I left, and I put it to bed.
But that experience taught me more about melanoma than I ever wanted to know. (I was certain I had nodular melanoma, the deadliest kind, of course nothing, but it was a real, and weird lesion, it was not in my head--it is kind of a relief once in a while when it is not psychosomatic). Anyway, long story short, yay no cancer, but now I am questioning every single lump, bump and mole (I have a lot of them).
Especially concerning, I have a couple of small clear colorless new moles on the back of my neck. I didn't even know nodular melanoma could be colorless. Now I am a mess of worry over these colorless moles, small, three of them on the back of my neck. They feel like time bombs to me now, I cannot quit feeling them, and its driving me nuts.
I am sure they are fine, none bigger than a couple of millimeters, but I just want my mind to rest. All I can see is nodular melanoma, especially from the newish one, that may or may not have been there a long time, I cannot recall.
Just venting, I guess. Thanks for all the support people gave when I was sure I was a dead man.
