Thank you again for sharing you experience. I hope you are doing well now and wish you the best. It helped me to speak out here.

Hi Melanie,

thank you very much for sharing your experience and your thoughts with me. I hope and am convinced that good deeds come back on the one or the other way. So prepare for that.
The stress you mentioned is as well a factor i see regarding illness of any kind. I suffered from severe stress before i was diagnosed with testicle cancer (had a hard time at work) and i think that may have played a role. Having figured that out, i try to keep calm in my current situation as it does not help at all to panic but i think of being probably ill when going waking up, going to bed and pretty much in between. Keeping positive is a real challenge for me right now. Interestingly, when i was diagnosed with testicle cancer i was just calm. Can not say why, but i did not panic at all. It seems i lost this attitude due to the feeling that something with my mole was done wrong and i can not change that.

Thank you again for your advice, i will try to act like you said. In fact, it already helped me to be able to speak out here. I wish you the best! Have a good day,

Felix

Thank you again for giving me advice. Regarding the other moles, i try to have an eye on them and i go to the dermatologist on regular basis. May i ask you how you noticed your recurrence?

I try to be awake and notice any changes within my body but it is a small difference between caution and panic as it seems to me.

Have a good day tkoss!

Thank you very much for your thoughts and help Tsvetochka. Wishing you the best.

Hi Tsvetochka,

thank you for your comment and sharing your experience with me. In fact, i think you did really well not dwelling on the past things. I would be so happy to have peace of mind for sure. It helps not at all. As you can read in my reply to tkoss, i think i can get scans, but i don`t know for how long. But i will try to get them for sure.

After several months, i figured out for myself that i won`t be able to know what happened there right now. So i think i have to look forward. Any thoughts how to handle this beside to get scans (talking about the psychological aspect)?
I am trying to get my mind to rest but it is really hard. If you guys have any mental strategies in the bag regarding that topic i would be really thankful.

Hi tkoss,

thank you for your answer. The health system here is ok, but if you are not diagnosed with anything that requests further going tests or even surgery, they won’t do that in general. In my case, i will have a normal CT of abdomen and chest (at the end of the year) because of my past testicle cancer and i think i will be able to get a cranial MRI as well because of that. To get those scans done on a regular basis for several years will be difficult to achieve, but i will try and find a solution.
PET and surgery won’t be options, i think the insurance won`t back that without diagnosis.

Thank you very much again for taking the time and helping me. I wish you the best!

Felix
