      Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have not yet had the results of biopsy but it seems certain that it is melamona. What is so awful is that I went to the doctors about this particular mole a few years ago and she told me that there was nothing to worry about so I did not take a lot of notice of it, but when a friend saw it a few weeks ago she advised me to see a doctor again which I did and this time my own doctor was not there – she was just as useless when I delveoped cancer of the womb –  and the diagnosis of cancer of he womb took up my time instead of concentrating on the mole on my leg I then had to concentrate on another cancer and I suppose what with having PAT TECS I thought if I had any cancer anywhere it would show up but I still did not thing anythihg about the mole on my leg.

       

      I had it removed yesterday and so am waiting for the results. The Dermatolgist seemed to think that it was Malegnant Melanoma so I am not holding out much hope of it being anything else and I feel just terror also because I had it such a long time!

       

      Just wanted to say hello anyway.
