Suddenly weight doesn't matter anymore :-(

edited October 2024 in Health and Weight Loss
Have just discovered a not very good looking growth on my neck that I am sure is either new or has significantly changed. Am going to the doctor tomorrow to get it checked out, but am quite nervous as my mum died from skin cancer.

Am hoping it will be ok and I can go back to worrying about less important things.

    I'm so hoping for your sake it is nothing major, and maybe just a swollen gland or something. Keep us updated, and were all here for you through this journey!

    First - relax...........

    I've had several small skin cancers removed over the years. While it's disconterting, remember that most are benign. I'm sure you'll be fine. I used it as a reminder to take better care of my skin - sunscreen, etc., etc. I hope you have a positive outcome. Good luck!

    I'm glad you're getting it checked out right away. You've had enough to worry about lately. Look up! and try not to let circumstances get you down. God has everything under control, even when we can't see it.

    As someone who just went through a heath scare, I understand how it can completely derail your fitness plan. I am with you, but be assured that whatever it is, you will benefit from having it diagnosed sooner. Try to relax, and let us know how things turn out...

    Just saw doctor. It's definitely a mole that has changed. He thinks it MIGHT be from trauma but is going to remove it on Thursday.

    Unless I misunderstand, that seems like fine news indeed. Please tell me that I didn't misunderstand.

    Hopefully. He said he thinks it looks benign so time will tell.

    He's probably right, and you were right to notice it and get it checked out right away. Paying attention has its benefits.

    Good idea to get it removed, just to be safe. Sounds like your Dr. is not concerned, or he would have removed it immediately. Good luck tomorrow....
