Hi,

I went to the GP last week about a mole that has changed the last 2 years. She’s described it as black, irregular border and shape. She said it is 2mm. As it’s on my back, from what I can see it has got slightly bigger and darker over time.
She has referred me via 2ww where they will take a close up picture and send it off to consultant. 
I can see on NHS app the referral form and she has stated selected suspected melanoma and now I’m a mess and so scared. I’m only young and what if I’ve ignored it for too long. 
I asked her on the day of she thought it could be something bad and she said no but is going to refer me. 
The waiting is awful, I was trying to be positive but after seeing the notes all I am thinking is the worse :( what is the likelihood of it being melanoma and it having spread at 2mm? I suffer with severe health anxiety I can’t take my mind off it.
