melanoma

Hi mac77,

Thanks for posting, I’m sorry to read about your situation.  Many people would feel worried and anxious after being told that a mole is cancerous, I’m sure it was a huge shock.  Depending on what the biopsy results have shown, the doctors will be able to explain what your treatment will be and what the expected outcomes are.   I have attached a link below to our website with more information about melanoma. Please feel free to call or email us on the Nurseline, we can have a chat in more detail about your situation and the supports we have to help you such as our remote counselling service, our number is 1800 200 700, we are open from 9am to 8pm Monday to Thursday and 9am to 5pm Friday to Sunday,

Hi mac77 I had a similar experience, mole removed back in January turned out cancerous huge shock to the system at the time. Worst part is waiting for the next phase but once you talk to the professionals and get a clear pathway it's easier to cope. Stay busy if you can and keep positive, take each hurdle as it comes.
Best of luck

Hi
I also had a cancerous mole removed at the side of my knee and was in again last week for a wider local excision under local anaesthetic. I am recovering at home and awaiting biopsy results And can understand your worry! Try to make time for yourself and be good to yourself. Are you clear on what's happening next?
