      Have just been told i have a
      Severely atypical dysplastic nauevus
      Mole on my back
      They are going to remove in 2 weeks as highly likely its melonoma

      Its not that big and i just after advise _ should i be overly worried at this point
      It was picked up on check up
      I have lots of other serious illnesses and would rather know what to expect

      Clinic just say dont get overly worried at this point as will remove and do biopsy but easier said than done

      Thanks

          If I could do my first two weeks over again, then I would definitely try to relax more than I did. And I wouldn’t mention what I was going through to very many people (family only and definitely not co-workers or boss no matter how close I thought that I was to them). But in my case the initial belief was that I had Lymphoma (I had an unknown primary and the ENT doctor correctly aligned my symptoms most closely with lymphoma). So I didn’t sleep many nights while I researched the different types and treatments for lymphoma. All that I had researched and planned went out the window when they said it tested positive for Melanoma.

          I hope the same for you, but I hope the mistake is that it’s not melanoma or anything else bad.
