I may have a rare form of melanoma on my face. I have to go to the hospital for more tests. The doctors are still trying to figure out what is going. The cyst that was removed was tested. It was a normal cyst. The bump that appeared after the cyst was removed and tested, it is saying a type if melanoma.
So now that have to compare both tests and try figure what the hell is going on. They are setting up special scans that will let them know if I have melanoma and whether it has spread tp to other parts of body. That's the key, if it hasn't spread to other parts of my body I could survive another 10 years, which would be fine. I'm 63 now, another 10 years would be a good long life.
Won't know for sure until I get the scans.
What's strange about this is, melanoma usually appears as a dark black spot. I did not have that, I had a small cyst. You never know, that's why you should never ignore things.
