Hi moms, hope you’re all having a nice weekend so far
Sorry I’ve been a bit absent on here, I’ve been lurking a bit more than posting recently as the past couple of weeks have been a bit full on. Some good news, I got a promotion at work (yay!). It’s not a huge pay rise as I’ve only gone up by one band in NHS but I’m excited to be moving upwards regardless. That said, my health has been a bit
tit and it’s completely overshadowed my good news.
I found out I likely have melanoma in situ which is being removed in a few weeks and biopsied. I’m so angry at myself for abusing sunbeds for so many years thinking ‘it’ll never happen to me’, yet here we are. The dermatologist is convinced we’ve caught it early enough that it’ll be a once and done procedure and it’s very unlikely to have spread beyond a melanoma in situ, but we won’t know for certain until the results come back. I feel so weird about it. One minute I’m fine and the next I’m hating myself for potentially giving myself cancer all because I wanted a tan. I’ve been avoiding baddie Maddie’s thread as well as I see she’s back to claiming she’s naturally tanned and I just can’t take it at the minute. My hypothyroidism and PCOS are all over the place too so my hormones are totally out of whack. I’m seeing a specialist nurse for that next week though so hopefully that’ll be under control again soon.
Sorry for the downer from me, just needed to vent a wee bit as I haven’t told friends or family yet.
Sending love to you all and hope you’re all well❤
