Kathleen: Re: Should/must I make an appointment? OT

[Guest guest]

I am sorry to hear that! Will get an appointment next week, hopefully.loveReb>> My husband had a mole on his arm, ignored it until it started to bleed and then was diagnosed with melanoma. The cancer went to his brain and he died a few months later.

And the skin around it has turned reddish. > > > Now, on one hand I know that funny acting moles should be looked up (and possibly removed) due to cancer risk. But on the other hand I also just hate to go to the doctor's office for silly little things (like when I had to make an appointment to get a bit of glass out of my finger the other year). And a barely bleeding area smaller than even a tiny coin is certainly a supersilly little thing.> > > So...I guess what I am asking is: Surely this could be something completely harmless that could be ignored till it goes away?
