Hi. So glad I found this site as it’s already been helpful. Was referred to a dermatologist after noticing a mole near my shoulder blade had grown. After an examination, the registrar said straight away it was “an ugly duckling” and called a senior consultant in who confirmed it was malignant melanoma. The mole measured 2.5 by 1.5 cms and was removed there and then and sent to the lab. Six stitches later, was told I would be contacted within 2 weeks (this was 6 days ago). I just feel like my world has been turned upside down and can’t think of anything else other than what’s going to happen next. They were lovely at the hospital but couldn’t take it all in at the time. They did say I might get the results by telephone call from consultant does this make it more serious? Just wishing the week away now.
