Hi All - this had a malignant melanoma removed with my WLE completed oct24 it was stage 1a on my right thigh and have since had a couple of “dodgy” looking freckle/moles removed and thankfully they were ok - I went to see dermatologist privately last week as 5 freckle type marks had evolved 2 are being monitored however 3 look suspicious and are being removed next week 2 inches away from my original melanoma and a new mole has appeared under my toe same leg - the anxiety is really freaking me out - I guess this is my life now - my dad died from malignant Melanoma aged 57 I’m 53 - and I am trying to downplay how I’m feeling to friends and family as I feel a fraud as "its only melanoma” - people do not seem to think it’s serious and I feel a bit lost with it all…. rant over
