Hi all. touched by melanoma

Hi all I got a spot cut out for the first time on my back. Now I feel a bit like a whoos because its that cancer "everyone" seems to have and it seems to have good prognosis. So i try to say "shell be right" but somehow its not working. Still I am worried, getting final results monday. I was so surprised to get this thing cut out when i went on this queck up i didn't even ask questions, it was all too quick. I just went there because i havent been to a proper dermatologist and wanted peace in mind. I am happy having found this group and glad to be able to talk about things.
