Hi,
Not sure where to post but this seemed to be the most relevant topic. I am currently 16 weeks (My anxiety is always at its worst while I'm pregnant) and have just been referred to a specialist for a basal cell carcinoma. I have had the 'spot?' for about 2 years possibly longer and i didn't really get bothered by it until another one popped up next to it. I have both stupidly but greatfully looked up Basal Cell carcinoma on my good friend google which has actually given me a little comfort that it is not life threatening but now I'm convinced I have them all over. Im blonde, blue eyed and have hardly every worn sun cream.
Has anyone experienced this while pregnant? does anyone have any experience in what is likely to happen at the referral, waiting times etc? Dr said usually up to 18 weeks but he has requested I am seen sooner but didn't know how long - this also made me worry a little more that it may be more serious.
I think it is a lot of pregnancy hormones, a lot of things happening at once and just being absolutely exhausted but any experiences anyone can share that may might me relax a little, My mind keeps wandering to the 'what ifs' even when logically I know i'm being ridiculous, I just can't seem to stop! x
