Hello. So today I went to my GP about a small skin growth I've had for at least a year (probably closer to two) which until recently didn't cause me very much anxiety. But due to my Grandad being very ill with the Big C I've been living in panic for the past week so decided to get it checked out...
GP said it was probably a dermatofibroma (which is what I'd already self-diagnosed myself with anyway, woo) but he wasn't 100% sure so referred me on.
This is possibly the worst thing I could have heard!
Why is he not sure? What else could it be? I'm now facing weeks of untold anxiety over this. My rational mind is telling me he wouldn't have giving me the diagnosis of dermatofibroma if he wasn't pretty certain.... but my mind doesn't accept 'pretty' certain. It's been less than an hour and I'm already losing my mind.
