Need prayers, good vibes, etc.
 

With a family member who had malignant melanoma, I check my moles religiously. I'm finding myself getting a wee bit nervous. Some may know I went to my doc in March to make sure it was ok to wait to see the dermatologist on the 14th of this month - and he said I should be fine.

I have two moles that changed in size rather quickly since December. They used to be what I call ink-dot in size, but have about tripled in size. I checked them again last night and they are a little bigger. They are still smaller than a pencil's eraser, but I've never had any change this quickly. :eek: I've had quite a few moles removed a small grouping at a time since I was a teen, and none have ever come back truly benign in biopsy.

I am so trying not to obsess about this since I know most would still consider them too small to be of any immediate concern. I'm just fortunate that I made the appointment before I found these two.

I just pray for peace of mind until I see the doctor. :(

You got it -- prayers, good vibes, etc. Try not to obsess too much. It is good that you are geting them checked out.

prayers and good thoughts heading your way, I would say do not worry, but from me that is a joke as i worry about anything in life... with the kids and family and regular every day stuff at times ....

hugsss and good luck at apt, sarah

T&P heading your way! Good luck with the doc appt!

Prayers heading your way, Jenn. You're smart to have them checked out early. It's much, much easier to deal with when it's not presenting a problem than to wait. I'm a worrier, too, so I know what you're feeling. :hug:

Prayers on the way sweetie. Try not to worry if possible. :hug:

You got it Jenn! The good news, like you guys told me, is if it is anything you've caught it in time to do something about it. :hug:

try to relax fin.:hug::hug: sending my prayers up.:hug:

I'll be praying, too

Praying as we speak. :hug::hug::hug:
