I am really worried right now...with good reason

[carole]

Thanks for trying to re-assure me, I have done my homework and research and I am pretty much clued up on everything,however the urgency I have been given does make me suspect the Doctor is concerned, I am not expecting it to just be nothing, but i sure hope so, if not I just have to hope I have got it early enough eh? My stomach is in knots right now and I am so nervous and the appointment is a little time away, i may now beable to go Tomorrow,just waiting to hear if a cancellation is available, fingers crossed, I need to know either way, the worry and waiting is just awful.

I hope the outcome is nothing harmful. ((Hugs)) Good luck, you'll be in my thoughts.

Good for you on being proactive and getting this taken care of as soon as possible. Removing suspicious moles is not really "surgery" per se - I've had many suspicious moles removed, all done in the doctor's office in the blink of an eye. It's virtually painless - they numb the area, a quick snip and you're done. I know our minds go to the "dark place" but just know you're doing the right thing and PT's prayers, thoughts and peeps will be right there with you.

I'm also very fair skinned and try to stay out of the sun but I'm of German descent. I've had about 3-4 suspicious looking moles removed but none of them were cancerous. I'm glad that you're having them checked out. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

Carole, I had some suspicious looking, shape changing things on my face and they, thankfully turned out to be nothing (cysts), Please try not to worry. I know it's hard. It sounds, as a precaution, the docs fit you in as soon as possible, which they will do. Basel cell skin cancer (my once sun worshipping aunt has quite a few) can be removed with no further problems. The good thing is that you're being checked out. I'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the very best outcome..nothing

Carole,

I'm saying a prayer that it's nothing serious. My Dad had skin cancer from sun exposure over the years. He had them removed by laser. I stopped sun worshipping years ago. I just can't take the heat anymore.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, honey!!
