I think if you had it for 10 years then it would be nothing to be honest.

I wouldn't worry about it as you are just getting stressed and there is nothing you can do now.

I am sure they will contact you soon.

Hi Im sure since youve had it so long, if it was serious, there most definately would have been other symptoms. I know the wait is agonising, but you are close to finding out the answer, and have to trust that you will deal with it, despite the outcome. Its so hard to be positive as anxiety is awful I know, but emerse yourself in your family and keep busy. Let us know how you get on. Very best wishes xx:)

I had the same for years and years. It was biopsied and removed. It was a basil cell carcinoma. Its most often this and does not spread. best to get it removed as they do get bigger in the sun etc.

I am in the same situation, waiting for pathology results, I feel your pain and anxiety.

I also have three kids, one on the way any minute, in my late 30s, I understand exactly what you are feeling, don't feel alone.

Waiting for lab results is the worst, I know. And you have to go on and take care of the kids and house and can't afford to fall apart. What I'm doing is trying not to think too far ahead and occupy myself. I have also stopped googling because it just alternately makes me feel better and worse. And I'm terrified I'll go into labor before the results, I have this irrational fear that if that happens, it will be melanoma. Also my husband is in Europe until Thursday night and I'm alone with the other kids.

Did they tell you when to expect the results? I should get mine today or tomorrow.
