        Hi, I’ve been diagnosed with melanoma in Situ so that was the shock of my life 🙁 I could only see the bad things in front 🙁 I had the excision , on the back I had a dysplastic one and had that removed as well and waiting now for one on my nipples which I really hope to come back ok , I had enough already 🙁 the amount of stress and anxiety is huge , you just can’t see ahead 🙁 so I really hope the last one they found will be fine 🙁 there is the fear that they will find another one, or that the melanoma will form inside the body and other things like these 🙁 it’s so good to discuss about these problems and I’m so thankful for your support. Thank you

          Hi everyone, thank you So much for the support I have from you … today I had removed the dysplastic one on my back, it’s a bit sore but it will go away. I also showed my doctor another mole on my nipple which I have it for ages and didn’t pay attention, didn’t change but it’s quiet dark and I was always embarrassed to tell about that. So he looked at it and straight away he said I don’t like it . He took the biopsy and wait now for the results, another stress and hassle. I already had enough of all these 🙁 also I want to ask is it possible melanoma to appear not on the skin but somewhere inside the body without raising on the skin? Now I’m thinking to all the bad things 🙁 I really hope the biopsy will come back ok 🙁 otherwise surgery for this one will be more complicated 🙁 thank you everyone for support again and I wish you all health and all the best ! I’ll keep updating!

                    Thank you so much for you reply and encouragement , I’m in Australia , here the skin cancer is normal, every 1 in 4 person could have it… yeah, lucky i got it in time. 4 years ago my dr said that is not happy with this mole in my leg so I keep ignore it just because I was scared of the biopsy cut , last year my skin specialist said we really need to take it out so again I left and I said ok I will come next week , been scared again and never went back 🙁 but this time he said you’re not gonna leave until I cut these moles to see how they are. And lucky it was like that, next week I will have the excision for the one on the back and the every 3 months for a year I have to go and check them. I’m lucky to be in Australia , the government covers everything and they’re very careful with it. I’m not sure if the sun or solarium I did years ago back in Europe… in Australia solariums are prohibited . The sun here is very strong and I have to admit that I’m a sun lover , I could stay in the sun all day , I love it. Unfortunately from now on I have to be careful , covered all the time. So if it’s stage 0 that makes me feel a bit better . The report also showed no ulcer , absent, lymphocytic infiltrate -moderate, nuclear grade -moderate to high, these are the results on the report … thank you so much again for encouragements , means a lot to me and I really hope all this trouble to stop here .
