Hi I got the mole off yesterday. I prepared well &arrived early at appointment,feeling calm. This is an unbelievable change since the previous appointment were I left the surgery and could not go through with it. The difference in me is incredible.
It's been 2 months since I got the last fillings replaced &I'm feeling brighter in general,more balanced.
BEFORE: The combination of camomile tea ,natural progesterone cream massaged onto the neck,magnesium supplements,and I felt beautifully relaxed. I also took some rescue remedy under my tongue & dropped some onto the mole, before they called me in.
DOCTOR: I think the doctor may have thought I took the valium after all! I'll tell him what I did at the next check up.The nurses &doctors I met were really friendly &nice. For the first time in my life (that I'm aware of) I actually enjoyed a visit to the hospital.I kept telling myself that just because I've never had a nice/positive experience in a hospital,does not mean it will be the same this time and it was not the same at all. The doctor & nurses were really exceptional.
AFTER: I prepared well for procedure but did not think ahead to the possibility of being sore after!And so had nothing ready for to help relieve pain if necessary! Doh. So I took 2 paracetamol when the local anasthetic wore off,(I would never usually take any drugs) but I have not taken any since & don't feel any strong pain just a bit sensitive/tender in the site,I feel a little groggy today ,I feel a bit battered &bruised but a day or 2 taking it easy should help that. I also gave the surrounding area a little massage with some arnica ointment.I also had a gentle lymph drainage massage &slept for half an hour after,would still be there but had to get up,get some things done.I feel pleasantly tired,like I could sleep for a day or 2,if left undisturbed!
MOLE: The mole did have a melanoma attached,I asked to see it before I left. The mole was a bit bigger than a flattened raisin,and the melanoma was about the size a 2 little peas,yellow coloured with the threads attached like a tiny octopus. I am describing it like this as I'm not familiar with the medical words.
It will be analysed & I will know the results before christmas. I'll keep you all posted.
