I had a spot appear a couple of weeks ago that I knew straight away was going to be BCC as it’s on the side of my nose and it hasn’t got a head, isn’t sore and doesn’t look like other spots I have although I did have one on my forehead for a while a couple of months ago that disappeared but I know this is different.
I’ve always known that I’d get skin cancer as I tick all the boxes, blue eyes, blonde hair, I’ve used sun beds when I was younger, blistered a few times, my grandad had melanoma (he was nearly 90 and a bus driver) and I’ve had a suspicious mole removed that was thankfully benign. Just hate myself for not looking after my skin more and thinking of the dangers.
I know I should go the doctors to get checked out but I’m petrified especially after my mole was removed last time as it sent me spiralling. Also if it is skin cancer this means I’m definitely going to get melanoma and I don’t want to die of it. I hate this fear of cancer and I don’t know how to stop it.
