    I wasn't going to post this because I have no wish to bring people down :o

    But my conscience tells me.i should because if it makes one person realise they have a problem.....

    For my whole life I have had what I considered a freckle on my knee. I lived with it. last year sometime it started swelling up. I'm talking half the size of a petite pois here, it was that small. I ignored it, thinking I'd got a thorn stuck in it in the garden or something. I know that foreign bodies work their way out eventually.

    I even ignored it when it started to get sensitive when my jeans were rubbing in it and causing mild pain. About three weeks ago I picked up a flexi tub full of washing and it caught the tiny lump and it was carnage :eek: it bled PROFUSELY I was worried and went to the doc.

    Long story short. it is a melanoma.

    I've been to a consultant this week and have a date to get it removed. it's progressed enough that I have to have lymph nodes in my groin checked as well ( I know .....how drastic to get my groin felt :o) but I've hopefully caught it early enough.

    if you have lumps and bumps you are unsure about....get them checked. I never expected what has happened this week.

    no out pouringings of grief please. just check your lumps :p


    I am sorry to hear about your little bump ... I had a malignant melanoma removed


    several years ago from the back of my leg ...the same case scenario as you

    I only had it removed as it kept catching on the seat as I was driving

    The consultant just took it off on a day surgery as he never thought it was a

    cancer: ...luckily for me it was checked in labs and I was called back to have it

    removed deeper as to remove all cancerous tissue ....so please every one as

    fairclaire says get your bumps and bits checked out regular ...Fairclaire you

    have had a

    Horrendously horrible year ... On a lighter note ...I would change your first foot

    next year ...onwards and upwards dear lady

    Aah, Germoline - the smell of childhood:D

    Since they changed the formula, de-pinked it and lessened the smell, it's not the same anymore :(

    I'm sorry to hear that FC. Thank you for posting it, as you say, if it gets just one person to check their lumps and bumps, it's worth it. I wish you all the bestest with it :A


    And for the muppet who is reporting David. I suggest you go and get yourself a wee life. Our David. is just the tonic that this thread needs sometimes. Instead of being a spiteful little arsewobbler, if you have a problem with anything he posts, be "man" (or woman!) enough to go to him directly :mad:

    That's good.......but now I've got my old APG back:rotfl:

    I'm going to have a snoop around for a comparison:)

    Do you know if it compares on APG zap?


    Sorry for delay TM as I only come on site now and again. Don't know if it compares on apg but 74p isn't a bad price :)

    Sound advice and fully seconded. DH had something similar on his face a few years back - turned out to be a basal cell carcinoma. Please, if you have the slightest concern, get it checked.

    Oh goodness FC.......:o

    I was of the generation that never used sun protection and remember several occasions when young getting very burnt.......the type where you can peel sheets off your back:o
    I think it's the changes you need to keep your eyes peeled for. It only takes a few minutes to pop into the GP and get anything suspicious checked out. Very good advice. I know the success rate is excellent with this sort of stuff and there will be a host of peeps on here wishing you the very best with it all:A

    Oh dear.

    If it's of any consolation I've just given myself a gentle slap on the wrist ;)
