Thought i would keep you updated on My moles!
Just got back from doctors i freaked out in the surgery! (how embarrassing) Anway got him to check my moles and he asked a lot of question like has it grown or changed!then looked at it with some sort of light thing looked like a pen! He said that he thought it was a benign mole! the only thing that concerned him was the jaggared edge but thinks it could have always been like that.and he would refer me to the melanoma clinic if i was concerened or they could cut it out at the surgery as one of the doctors does minor surgery! This completly freaked me out so i turned round to him and said you think its melanoma dont you he said no as when he looked at it melanoma looks alot different underneath the skin and mine looks normal! He then said that he would like to see me in about 4 weeks now he knows what it looks like he can check if there is any changes! again this freaked me out why would he want to see me again if its normal? so again i asked the question you think its melanoma dont you? he then said no if i did think it was i would not offer you minor surgery and insist that you went to the melanoma clinic as minor surgery isnt for melanomas as it is pointless!
So any way i am still completly freaked because i now know that he is going to say it has changed since last time he saw me!
Then i made him giggle as i new more about the melanoma clinic than he did!
do you think he is just humoring me untill i see him next then tell me it is melanoma? or is it normal to asked to go back in such a short space of time? ie he said 3 - 4 weeks
