It's me again with yet again something else to be fearful over.
Last year I had a mole on my stomach looking kinda weird. It just seemed off to me, finally freaked and ran to the doctors who sent me to hospital. A dermatologist saw me and looked at it, sat me down and said there is no way to confirm cancer just by looking at it and that it could be, in which case a large section of skin would be removed and possibly would have to graft. Really scared me. Not good.
It came back as being 'active' but hadn't turned thank goodness. I've got a scar left from where they did the excisional biopsy.
Now I've thought another mole was looking weird. It's like the colour of it is spilling out into the skin around it, which is what happened last time. I showed a dermatologist and she said she wanted it off and now I have an appointment for a removal of the mole and skin around it for biopsy next early next month.
So I'm hoping it's just active and not turned bad. I'm scared about it, and I'm tired of being scared about health related things.:frown:
Seriously it's sapping my energy and I just can't switch this health anxiety off. I'm really struggling to cope with it all.
