This applies to the ladies as well.
On the 23rd April 2018 I had a small Mole removed from my shoulder as my GP thought it could be "iffy". It did not hurt or bleed it just seemed to become quite raised over the last few months - were talking 1.4 mm in size.
I was due for a routine follow up appointment at the end of this month with Dermatology had a phone call on Monday this week saying I need to be seen ASAP so they saw me on Tuesday (22nd May 2018).
Turns out it's a malignant Melanoma, they intend to dig out a bit more tissue as a precaution. Also have been offered a Sentinel Lymph node biopsy procedure.
Am seeing a specialist Nurse next Tuesday to talk through the options, see Skin Graft Surgeon on the 14th June, if I go for the biopsy thing it is done at Nottingham.
I suspect that nothing invasive will be done until they finish my heart stenting on the 21st June 2018.
TBH the timing is a bit inconvenient to say the least as house rebuild completion is going to be in the same month!
God bless our NHS and if you have an Iffy Mole get it checked out!!
