      PLEASE go and see a dermatologist. PLEASE. No one here can tell you for sure what it is you have, but a doctor will be able to give you more information and will put your mind at rest. Most likely it is nothing serious, but would you bet your life on it? Remember, skin cancer is very treatable in early stages. Don't take any chances, ok? x

      There are a few replies to this question written under my previous question, if whoever is reading this is interested. 

      People here are great. We get so much more information than we do from doctors, sometimes. 

      Love to all of you xxx

      Thank you very much for your answer and support!. They are trying to decide whether to do SRS or surgery. They said probably SRS because as she is on Warfarin  surgery may be too risky. The team seems knowledgeble and have good reputation…
      Thank you again and best wishes to you too xxx

      Thank you so much. So it would not be generally bad if she would have an infusion at 4 weeks instead of 3 weeks, right? Maybe you have heard something about it, because doctors are not sure. Thank you again xxx

      Thank you! So does it mean it can be done on the same day? xxx
