I understand why you don't want to go to the doctors, but seriously you need to get that mole checked out. I mean if cancer runs in your family you want to be safe and not sorry. I don't blame you for not wanting to go, believe me I understand. But if comes down to being scared for a little while or your life, I'm guessing you would choose to be scared instead. I mean your life is too important to blow it off by not checking something that could turn out to be nothing.
And about not crying, don't you dare feel bad about that or hate yourself. We all handle grief differently. You should not feel bad whatsoever because of it. Some people laugh when their grieving some get serious and some cry. We are different so we handle it differently, just remember that.
I'm sorry that you have had to deal with funerals and stuff like that. I hate to say it, but it really prepares you for the future, the older you get the more you experience it unfortunately.
Lastly, stand tall, you are a strong person, who has been through alot in her 14 years, you have no reason to be ashamed. But i bet those funerals, remind you how short life is right? Everything will be fine, just have faith. And please get the mole checked!

Whenever you are at risk of cancer- the sooner the better. It's always hard to face something that you have seen kill others but if it is found early, for instance a cancerous mole, it can be treated or removed and take away more of the risk of getting cancer and having it spread throughout your body. We have such great technology now which can help detect and reduce the risk of cancer and I suggest you put your fears aside and get tested or your life can be at even more risk.

You might have breast cancer, i seriously think that you should get to a doctor fast, because the sooner its discovered the easier it can be treated, if you wait a long time it will be a huge mess. If people in your family had it then you have a good chance of that gene in you. I really hope you listen to that, because i don't want you to get cancer! Get to a doctor now, and fast!

You got to look at it like this: If it is a cancerous mole, the sooner it's discovered and treated, the better. It's not something that will just go away in time. Cancer is something that gets worse. I know you know that.
What they'll do is check out your suspicious mole. They will remove it, then send it in to the lab for testing. That is the only way you will find out if it is cancerous or not.
No person can tell you just by looking at it or hearing your description. Only lab results will answer your question, and if you and your mother are concerned about this mole, those lab results are exactly what you need.
If it ends up being just a pesky old mole, then think of the relief you'll have in knowing.

I am so sorry for the hard time you have been having! Hang in there!
You need to see a doctor. A dermatologist can look at the bump.They are specialists with things to do with the skin. I know you do not want to go to the hospital but you really should find out what this
is,so if it is something serious you can start fighting it now before it gets worst. There is nothing else you can do, except wait and see if its get worst and only if it does then go to a doctor but honestly that is taking a huge risk.
Goodluck!
