Re: worried about melanoma
Please relax. My Father had Malignant Melanoma around 5 years ago. It is particularly fast moving and you would know if you had it. You could almost see the Melanoma changing on a day by day basis. He first noticed it changing because it bled. Of course, monitor it, but don't obsess. Get it checked at your next appt.
PS. My father is still with us and going strong. All traces of Melanoma gone.
Re: worried about melanoma
My husband just had a mole removed from his back and the biopsy came back "mild pre-cancerous", but they said they removed all of it and he didn't need any further treatment. Of course that makes me all worried again. The doctor checked all of his moles and said none of the rest of them looked bad, but it reminded me of my mole that I was worried about. His mole didn't look like the one I have (it was definitely bigger than a pencil eraser) but now I'm thinking about skin cancer again. Thankfully I have a doctor's appointment next week.
