I noticed a rock hard lymph node under my ear over a week ago. I made a doctors appt because I thought it was odd that it wasn’t going away. We moved recently so I made the appt with a new dr. So we were going over past medical history and all that fun stuff. I pointed out a mole on my forearm that I have had for about two years. It is very strange looking, but up until recently it was smooth so I didn’t think much of it. ( I didn’t realize that even if flat they should still be monitored ). I told her that over the summer it started getting bumpy and a black raised spot had showed up that is flakey. It is asymmetrical, multicolored, jagged edges and about the size of 1 and 1/2 pencil erasers.. Here is a pic : http://imgur.com/GNla5DS
Anyhow she was concerned and referred me to a dermatologist. I go Thursday.
So I am nervous but hoping for the best. However no one in my family seems concerned, not even my husband. When I told my hubs he said its nothing to worry about and they will just remove it. In fact, if I try to talk to him about it and the “what ifs” he seems irritated. It really hurts that he cares so little.
I know i have not been diagnosed, but have no one else to talk to. Thursday seems so far away and I am nervous. So here I am…
