Just got diagnosed with melanoma. Feels bad man.

[P51]

Like most young stupid people I spent my late teens and early 20s outside a ton without sun screen. Even went into tanning beds before vacations or weddings. Always thought skin cancer wasn’t gonna happen to me.



Well after getting many basal cell carcinoma removed (less serious skin cancer), I just got diagnosed with the big guy, melanoma. Doctor says it was caught early, but what’s crazy is I have had that spot for 11+ years and several other dermatologists have seen it, no one said **** until I went and saw a new guy last week.



Stay safe brahs.

I’ll send them yesterday

[mezner09]

How big is the spot? Have you not noticed it getting larger, changing color, being uneven/blotchy/undefined borders?

Went through a scare myself but it ended up being a normal spot.

Edit: 11 years? Surely you’d see it have enlarged and changed.

Lab results came back as melanoma.

Pretty ****en big. It’s a big dark brown blotch maybe half an inch. It looked crazy, but has looked crazy for 11 years. It’s right below my chest so I saw it a lot and for 11 years I always thought man this has to be something bad, but was always assured na it’s just a couple spots close together creating this “scary” shape.


Well the lab said nope lol.

[DolphinPilot]

If you had it for 11 years and nothing changed with it then I'd be suspicious. I guess they'll scrape it off so whatever, then.

that's what you get for not buttermaxxing (srs)

Stay out of the sun boyo

Stay safe..the thing about cancer is doctors don't know chit. They say they caught it early but if you had it for 11 years then how can they be sure it didn't metastasized? Get whole body scanned for abnormal cells?

Is that something you can even do?

[RayBoccini]

Damn that sucks. That thing about 11 years is scary. I've had a spot on my back for 10ish years but I don't go out shirtless or tanning or anything, never really have. My doctor said it's nothing but after what you just said I've got pause

Comes naturally to Incels.

Good for vampiremaxing

isnt melanoma super treatable? Regardless, Id start with a butermaxxing regiment ASAP (srs)

**** way to ruin his night....but i agree get entire body checked

scary as ****

[JUSA]

Srs thread so I'll forgo the usual comments.

OP, this is a common form of cancer and one that is very treatable if caught early on. I know people who had this on their face and came out of it unscathed, you will almost certainly be fine in the long run.

[Onlinedatingcel]

Moles can turn into melanoma. That's where a sizable minority of them happen.

Stay safe brahs.

please get a full body scan op (or vital organs), 11 years is a long time. some ****ing doctors are god damn worthless i ****ing swear

my grandmother got diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer last week and never smoked a cigarette in her life.

she was in pain this past year and her family physician did x-ray scans every month, checkups, tests, but said nothing was wrong.

last week, after going to the ER because she had trouble breathing, they did a CT Scan and found out she had a tumor in her lung that metastasized to her bones

never trust the opinion of a single doctor

Depends if it spread or not. Idk yet. They biopsy your lymph nodes to see

[jtaylor2010]

Damn bro, sorry to hear that. I spend a ton of time outside myself so I should probably start getting stuff checked. My last physical my doctor just asked if I had any spots I was concerned about and didn’t even look at anything…not really his fault though since a doctor doesn’t have time to physically inspect every inch of every patient. What caused you to go to a new doctor, and what caused them to want to test it? Seems like if it was that easy someone over the past ten years would’ve done it.


And on the bright side, at least it’s one of the better ones to get. I know that’s probably not much of a consolation right now, but hopefully it’ll be a relatively smooth road ahead.

[homers54321]

my primary doctor never checks/asks if I have any spots. Am I supposed to keep track of them myself or go to a dermatologist regularly? I used to spend a lot of time outdoors without sunscreen as a kid

My ex's step mom nearly died from skin cancer in her armpit. Went to the lymph nodes srs. She never was in the sun.

[elterrible987]

damn you and king charles on the same day

[GuineaDago585]

Sorry to hear. Lefticle got diagnosed with skin cancer not long ago too. Stay safe miscers.

On the bright side, Google says the 5 year survival rate for melanoma is 99% srs.

Another misc douche gets cancer.

God really exists.

This.

Looks like your current dermatologist has a payment due on his Porsche 911.

[DrugsToGetBig]

sorry to hear man

at least skin cancer is very treatable

have they said what the next step is going forward?
