Hi,
A mole on my chest has changed. The 'head' has come off and I am concerned it may be suspicious. I have previously had stage 4B Hodgkins Lymphoma to the neck,chest,lungs. This was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I am probably being paranoid.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to read about the concerns you have about this mole.
I am Mike and I help out around our Lymphoma groups. I don’t have Hodgkin lymphoma but was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a rare incurable but treatable type of skin Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 4a and although my blood cancer ‘type’ is different I have experienced most types of treatments used but not necessarily the exact same drug mix.
The simple answer I can give is to go see your GP. My type of skin NHL makes me open to develop skin cancer and have had a few moles just like yourself over the years but they are all checked out and nothing sinister was found. For peace of mind just go see your GP.
It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, support or just a listening ear.
Always around to chat more.
Hi and a second welcome to the online community
I just wanted to reiterate what Mike Thehighlander has said and please do go and see your GP as you have noticed a change in your mole.
