I am scared.

Hi! I'm new here and english isn't my first language so I'm sorry I will make mistakes...

Two of my moles got removed and today I've seen the results online...one of them is pT1a melanoma and I'm really scared now.

I noticed about a year ago that this mole had been growing and it didn't stop. So the third dermatologist who saw it took me seriously this summer and she adviced that I should remove it.

I have a lot of moles. I'm going to make pictures of all of them tomorrow morning with a ruler next to them. I will go to an other dermatologist at tuesday (mine is at vacation and isn't available right now), but I'm really scared right now and don't know how to break down the news for my parents (my father will probably overreact and my mother will minimize the problem).

I'm trying to be rational and look strong, but I'm really scared, I cry a lot and I feel too early at 22 to have these kinds of problems...I'm not really scared of my death or my pain, but I'm scared of the pain that my loved ones will go trough or that my future children will have these kinds of problems and I shouldn't reproduce...
