Hi there.
Not sure where to begin. On Saturday I had my results for my Biopsy from a mole removed from rear shoulder five weeks ago.
It was made worse because of a a mix up over the appointment. (Totally my fault) I wrongly assumed the appointment was to have a second suspicious mole removed. My wife and I were totally non-prepared for what happened next.
Apparently the appointment was for my Biopsy results which we had been told the results would be sent by post in approximately four weeks.
Results showed Malignant Melanoma Stage 3. My consultant was superb. Informed my wife and I that I would be going to hospital for another biopsy and a scan. That I would have to go to the oncology department at another hospital. Also I would be under the consultant's team care for five years.
The trouble was that all that he was telling us was a complete shock to us even more so because we wrongly assumed the appointment was for the second mole removal. So much so that we never asked any questions.
I am having the second mole removed for biopsy on Wednesday. Where hopefully I can ask questions. We don't know the seriousness of my results. We are both worried sick. We are both retiring at the end of April this year.
Has anyone had a similar diagnosis . Any information would be a great help. Kind Regards
This is the way I am swaying to be fair.
my wife wants me to do it as well so if there’s a chance to improve my prognosis I should really do it for her.
like you say I can always stop
