Hi a year ago i had succesful treatment for a stage 1a (0.3) melanoma. All was well and i now have 3 monthly skin checks for the next 5 years. At my last skin check at the end of November the Doc said i had a bcc on my back. He went to great lengths to tell me it was not melanoma. The appointment to have this removed is March. This worries me as my first lesion was not deemed to be melanoma but turned out to be the case. I have tried to contact the skin cancer nurses but as yet they have not got back to me. I am just worried in case it is melanoma and it will have been left from November to March. The doc did say that once you have had one type of skin cancer you can get another (although he did stress he was not referring to melanoma).
My father and brother both have had bcc and are both fine. Its just the fact that i have had melanoma that concerns me.
Am I over thinking this. My anxiety has been awful.
Many thanks for any feedback.
