    How does your husband feel? Is he freaking out as much as you are? Don’t give the poor fella a death sentence just yet.

    Did the nurse say the words “this might be cancer?” - or is she sending him for it to be checked out to put your mind at rest?

    She said she’s worried it could be nodular melanoma. But also said it might be nothing. She said it’s a precaution to refer him quickly.
    But I’m almost convinced he has cancer.

    Why not be positive about things rather than so negative.

    It is just your HA playing tricks on you.

    Because I have health anxiety.
    If only it was that easy to just “ be positive”.....
    This feels a little more than health anxiety. When a nurse has said I’m worried it be might... etc.

    Ok well I won't reply again as you are clearly deep down the rabbit hole.

    A nurse is not an expert and not a dermatologist.

    Good luck with it all though.

    Oh cover your ass....
    yes i really hope this is the case. Only a dermatologist will know for sure. But that isn’t going to stop me from worrying sick until then.

    Maybe it should. Are you getting help for your health anxiety? I've been down the melanoma rabbit hole and I never want to be there again.

    My healthy anxiety has been pretty controlled until this. I’m not anymore medication anymore. Because I was doing better had my control technique. But this just feels more real than in my head.
    The appointment is today and I’m feeling exhausted from worrying. I pray for good news.
