As some of you may be aware my melanoma was an amelanotic one, meaning that it wasn't your classic mole gone rogue but a red lesion that appeared on my arm nearly 3 years ago. Unfortunately another red lesion appeared on my arm 10 days ago about 8" away from the original one. I kept an eye on it but, as it wasn't showing any signs of going, I phoned my SCNS on Tuesday and saw my consultant this morning.
She doesn't know what it is so I'm having it removed in 12 days time. I could have opted for a biopsy of a small part of it but decided that it might as well all go as, if it does turn out to be a melanoma, I'd have to go back to have the whole thing removed at a later date anyway.
I now have to take my own advice and just concentrate on the next step without worrying what may or may not happen. Anyway, I'm off on holiday for a week from tomorrow so that will take my mind off things!
I hope everyone else is doing okay.

Huge hugs 
. You’re only human and it’s okay to be feeling worried. You’re such a strong person and very inspiring for everyone on here but take time to take it all in and remember that we are all here too 
Thanks everyone for your well wishes and support! I'm just catching up with the posts on here after my weeks holiday.
Only a couple of days to go now and then whatever it is on my arm will be gone.
I'll keep you updated
