On June 26th, I had a biopsy for what I think is a new mole or new growth anyway.  He mentioned melanoma and I have been freaked out.  I have been looking online at pictures of melanoma and mine doesn't seem like any of them.  It would most closely resemble nodular melanoma.  It looked like a new raised up mole that grew in about a month's time. I do not remember having it at all.  I went in because it started to hurt and was turning red around the border.  I just want to know if anyone out there has ever heard of catching a nodular melanoma early.  The information about them are so scary.  Also, could it be something else?  Thanks so much.

Good Luck. Elizabethf Wed, 11 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT
