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

[Alysser]

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!!

Good News, I am fine, yep you heard right, I am sure all your wonderful good thoughts ,prayers and good vibes helped tremendously, they sure uplifted my spirits and made me realise what a great place PT is and how lovely you all are, I don't even have to have anything removed,they are nothing at all and I guess my doctor was being cautious, which is good, she is a new doctor for me taking over from my old one, so I am pleased to find she is onto it,they have some weird long name, and some people have them ,others don't, they don't turn into cancer either,but they do resemble melanoma in appearance, which is why i was so darn petrified, and that is putting it mildly, by gosh it sure makes you look at life in a different light now, i am going to enjoy every darn minute of it I can believe me.

Only my hubby and mother knew my fears and about the appointment, i did not want to worry my son or sister needlessly, thank goodness i made that choice I text him yesterday and told him what happened and his response was so loving, and overwhelming, and he was fighting back the tears, I know he loves me and all but i never realised just how much until yesterday,it was a scare for us all, but I am so relieved and happy to tell you all the good news.
