I'm very sorry in advance if I bother you, specially because you
certainly have a lot of people with real disease. I will try to keep
suckers as possible. I'm 29, from Croatia, right now on work in
Austria for 1 year. Everything is ok and fine with me, feel healthy,
I have even made all basic medical examination needed before I went
here, so that my inssurance is valid. (x-ray of lungs for example) And because of that I don't want to bother any doctor here in foreing country with no reason, specailly because I enjoy my time and work here and it's certainly not in my interest to be ill. So enough of introduction.

So now about 3 and a half months ago, I removed 2 moles that looked ok
and not dangerous from doctor's and specialist's opinion, by radiosurgery.(they were both small and not dark) Anyway after that it looked to me that on one place where mole was removed, or little above it, something is bolted (I hope it's the right word in English, swolen) or at least looked
different or larger then on the other side of my body. (i know it can sound very stupid, specially to hear from somebody who has PhD in math, and
suppose to be clever, and of course I know the body is not simetric)
Well maybe it was there before, not to do anything by removing mole,
but before surgery I didn't take attention to that part of body. Well
what my doctor in Croatia said (and it was at the beginning of January, and I have asked for other's doctor opinion and was told the same) that everything is ok, that my lymph nodes are not any larger or
bolted (swolen), and that I shouldn't worry, that everything is normal. And I wouldn't worry, the doctor is my parent's good friend, and I believe he would take it seriously, but if possible would like to here somebody other's opinion or how to make some testes to be 100% sure
and would like to know should I do something or not. I mean doctor
asked me for example if something hurts me, but when I think about it
when something starts to hurt me, it can be too late. Hope you
understand the main reson why I want some opinion to be sure is
because you can read so many things on the Internet, like it can be
dangerous etc...that if it's tumor or something it has to be
diagnosed as soon as possible, that people have to examine themselves, and similar things. But of course my inssurance won't spend money on
tests that my GP thinks are not neccessary. (for example one one place on internet i was able to read if mole that was melanoma was removed with radiosurgery it's almost sure the deatch for patient)

Thank you in advance for any info or advice. just to say that 2 moles
removed were below my left armpit. Also 2 weeks ago I have felt some
very light pain in my chest near that place, but it passed right away.
Something similar I felt today too. But of course it's not the pain you usually go to see doctor for. I really hope I have wrote it without reason and with no reason to worry, thank you for listening me. To add 2 things that might be irrelevant, first I gained about 20 pounds weight last year, and sometimes it seems muscles on my arm hurt me, but maybe it can be of too much work in from of computer, sitting andnot exercising.

Actually it would be good if somebody from Austria read this to give me some advice because if i call some doctor here, it would be very hard to explain on english and i still don't speak german...

Tom
