Good evening
quite a few years since I've been here, Back again not for me but for a sibling.
Sibling had a mole yhat has been growing, kept on at him to get it checked , eventually made an appointment and sore a dermatologist for the first time yesterday. They removed it there and then as it was large and bleeding.
so we are waiting results, They all so told him to go for blood test yesterday. When I went never had a blood test. Has anyone else had a this/ just wondering why as he seem like it's all going to be ok.
thanks M
Hi 46 male
I had a blood test after I'd been diagnosed with melanoma but it was to see what my vitamin D levels were.
hi latchbrook , thank you so much for replying. Hasn't been diagnosed yet as his biopsy has only just been sent last week. It was just at the same appointment of removing it the said he needed blood tests the same day. This was the first time he'd seen anyone since his gp referral.
thanks
Sorry Andrew
I should have said that the only time I've had a blood test was to check on my vitamin D levels and this was after I'd been diagnosed not before.
