Today I'm going to have a mole removed from my tummy. It's been getting bigger lately, so spurred on by a fellow GR member, I made an appointment to have it removed. The day has finally arrived and now I've got the jitters! lol. I know I'm being daft but I can't help it! Wonder what Mum's doing today and if she would like to come and hold my hand! lol.

Hi Jeanette My lad (12 at the time) had a mole removed from a delicate part of his back(near the spine - a bit boney)! He had a local anasthetic at the doctors and was just a bit nervous about the injection. But, he was fine and said it was okay. Once numb it was done in a jiffy and he was surprised it only took a few minutes. The test results were fine - it was a very strange looking mole that changed shape, colour and went a bit gooey! You are doing the right thing and will be thinking of you. Vikki xx

Thinking of you Jeanette, I'm sure you will be alright. Good idea to ask Mum though, things are always less worrying with someone with you. June xx

Good luck. I always think the bit before is always worse than the actual event. But taking Mum sounds a good idea! My daughter had to have a mole removed from a very delicate part of the body when she was about 9. She was very upset that she wasn't allowed to watch! Then wanted to show everyone her stitches and scar. Thankfully it was nothing to worry about although I know I had a few sleepless nights Just remember how many of us are thinking of you today Jane xx

I'm Back! Don't know what I was worried about really. Had to have two lots of anesthetic though! They're building a new health center right next to the old one and I could see them taking the scaffolding down through one of the skylights. So I was more worried that a piece of that was going to come crashing through than the operation! lol

Hi Jeanette, I had a mole removed from my back just off to the right from my spine, I was 11 at the time and it was going from the biegh colour of my skink to black for about 2 months also kept going flush to my skin then coming out a a large lump!! Tha appointment at the hospital was rather quick and they froze my back. The Dr. said my roots on it were the longest he had ever seen they were 2' long with a good attachment. But I felt nothing and all was well the biopsy proved it was not cancerous but have to watch the others on my legs.. the day I had my stitches out I bent over the bannister and opened it back up now I have a messy scar... Hope all goes well for you, try not to worry Susie x

Hi Jeanette Glad you went and bet you are now? All done in no time, it's always the worry before hand rather than getting these things done, good you had something to take your mind off what was happening if you were that nervous. Take Care Pat x
