Just before xmas some of you might remember my DH had a mole removed that turned out to be melanoma, followed by more surgery and further testing and horrible horrible waitinguntil he got the all clear. Now he has to have regular skin checks.

I thought I had better go get checked too, so I went today and the mole I was concerned about turns out to be ok but another one looks a bit funny. They removed it on the spot and now I am waiting on tests to come back. I wont know until the 17th Feb. I am so relieved that there were no others but now I have the stress of waiting for my results to come back. I just have to be positive as I am sure it worked for my DH - fingers crossed.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO GET CHECKED, DONT WAIT, DONT PUT IT OFF, ITS BETTER TO GET THESE THINGS EARLY RATHER THAN LATER.

I hope the time goes quickly and the tests are all clear.
I get a skin check every year. One of the dr's at the clinic I went to asked me why I come in so often as he thought I was a " clean skin ".... Let me tell you, since then I have had stuff burnt off and cut out, one leaving a scar on my cheek. So definately everyone should be getting checked regularly.
