Hi,
I'm 22yr old female and my current fear is melanoma. I have quite a few moles and some are pretty funky looking. I'very had a few checked by 2 GPS before but have made another appointment as a couple more have sprung up.
I think what is making this current fear worse is the fact I know that I could have caused the melanoma myself- back when I was 18 I used sunbeds regularly for about 6-8 months. Stupid I know. This obsession has taken over my life, I couldn't study, concentrate or sleep and I just fuel everything with the hatred of my ignorant/vain/stupid previous self.
Melanoma is one of the most probable cancers for a woman my age and yet so often preventable. My GP can't fit me in until a week Tuesday, so now it's just 10 days of panic and bugging my family/bf/anyone who will listen for an opinion on my moles.
