I am worried because I may have cancer. I have a mark on my body that could be cancer. I will need to have a biopsy but I sure hope and pray I dont have cancer. I dont want to die soon. There is a 50/50 chance I have cancer. I am just glad I have not been beside myself lately but I am worried.

I hate that word. Is it possible for you to see a doctor? Hugs.

I had a melanoma chopped out, must've been a decade ago.
Don't sweat it, just don't dawdle.
I think my dermatologist had me in hospital within 2 weeks.

Good luck, hopefully it's benign.

Sorry to know of this Texas , hope it has not gone deep . sounds like it maybe skin a cancer . if shallow it naybe
easy to treat if caught early . Scared me enough , when a spot on my upper breat bone showed one . successfully treated. And it got me to wearing hats ,if am outside more than a few minutes . And high neck tops with 50+ sunscreen
Regularily .....daily . Learned to go from shady spot to shady spot when outside. Hope you get better ! !
Prolly a good reason Lots of Texans wear cowboy hats . Sorry on the stereotype. 8)

I discovered that they make long sleeve shirts with vented sleeves to wear out in the sun.
I wear that with a bucket hat and sunscreen on my legs.

The sooner the doctors are in charge the better your outcome is likely to be.
