| I have.
I went to my dentist a year or so ago & he was on holiday and there was a South African guy filling in.
He said he'd seen a lot of skin cancer back in South Africa and suggested I get the mole on my face checked out as it looked "nasty".
Well as you can imagine I was scared witless. I've had the mole on my face since birth and I'd not noticed any difference in it over the years but he was a "medical man" and from "South Africa" so maybe I'd missed something.
I immediately made an appointment with my GP who said "what an idiot" (the dentist not me), he was 80% sure it was fine but due to the fact it was on my face & in the sunlight more often than other parts of my body he referred me to the hospital to get it removed.
I was still scared it was cancer & I was also scared it would leave a scar on my face but it was all fine. I was in & out in an afternoon & had the all clear within a couple of weeks. There is a tiny scar obviously but nowhere near as bad as I imagined & it's fading all the time.
Anyway, enough of the babbling, what I wanted to say was try not to worry I'm sure it'll be fine. I think if the doc had thought there was anything to worry about he'd have said something and not just referred you on.
Chin up hun. Hope it all goes ok. |
