Bad News today

You'll be in our prayers... please let us know what the doctor says when the results come in. I'm sure everything will be fine, but I can understand your worry.

I'll be thinking about you. Hope everyone goes just fine. You have us hear to listen and give hugs!

sorry to hear that, like some of the other girls said, early detection is the best way to handle these things and I am sure you will be fine....

Shannon, you are in my thoughts. You are going to be FINE. If it IS skin cancer, you'll probably just have to be checked by a dermatologist every year. This has happened to a few people in my family. Please keep us posted. -Stacy

I am so sorry to read. At least you are going to get it removed and you noticed it before it was too late. I have known many people have had actualy skin cancer and they never looked like they had any surgery. Best of luck to you.

You will be in my thoughts

My dad had a cancerous mole removed from his back 2 years ago. He's fine and you will be too!!! Try to stay positive!

You will be in my prayers. Keep positive thoughts

i'm so sorry. you will be in my prayers.

I know how scary that word is...just know that it's a good thing they caught it very early and there is something they can do about it. We are all thinking of you!!

Im sure the dr. is right about it being malignant
I will keep you in my prayers

You'll be in my thoughts ... I hope everything will be okay!

Sorry to hear this, you are in my thoughts and prayers

You are in my prayers!! I'm sure you will be absolutely fine!! Please don't worry!!

DaisyBride, hang in there! It is so scary to hear that word, espcially if it runs in your family.

Melanoma runs in my family too. No one in mine has died from it, but we all go to the derm once a year (my parents go twice).

I feel for you, because I had a huge black mass under what looked like a normal mole on my arm and it has left me with a nasty scar - no sleeveless anything for me! Thank god it was benign, but no more sun for me.

Your doc probably told you this but please be sure you wear sunscreen on your face every single day, winter and summer, all year, and buy a hat.

I hope you hear it is benign. Hang in there and try to do something you enjoy in the meantime.

Stay positive! If it is something, you've caught it early and that is key.
