        So I had my biopsy and they took it all out (excision) and sent off to pathology. The area is not painful but is rather itchy today. I have asked for a copy of my pathology report whether it is good news or not and now I am just waiting for results. Will keep you posted.

              Thanks so much for your comments Tim.

              I will try not to worry but it's so hard when I know how silly I have been and how quickly this mole is changing. But as you say, stress won't help.

              your advice is really helpful.

              My dermatologist is a skin cancer specialist but as I said above, I am going to make it very clear how worried I am and how quickly it is growing and I will ask for a biopsy with margins.

              The op is on Friday so I will let you know how it goes.

              Thank you so mic again for your reply.

                    Hi Artie

                    Thanks for the reply! I know exactly what you mean and I know that I have been really stupid in the past.

                    I was aware of the risks and just didn't think it could happen to me. 

                    Whether this turns out to be melanoma or not, my habits will be changed for a lifetime. I will do my best to educate others on the dangers too.

                          Thank you so much for you reply.

                          I am ver concerned with the speed of the change and how different this is from any mole I have had before. It is noticeably different each day and I am going to make this very clear to the dermatologist! 

                          She specialises in skin cancer but I will make my concerns really clear.

                          I will let you know how I get on.

                          Thank you so much again.
