      Thanks Janner! I just met with my GP to ask as many questions as I could in order to ease my mind.  She didn't know any of the answers unfortunatly.  She didn't know how deep witch I know is the most important thing to know.  She is referring me to the plastic surgeon however they haven't reached anyone yet.  She was thinking of just sending me for a CT Scan but said she didn't want too nor did she think it was neccessary, she said she would wait to see what the plastic surgeon said.  I did get a copy of the report however a lot of it doesn't make sense to me.  It does say the diagnosis is "MELANOMA IN SITU".  So this is all I know right now.
      I can't help but now feel sick, chest pain, sore throat!  Doc says its my mind and nerves.  I am also so anxious to see a Dermatologist to get my other moles looked at since I am also afraid there may be more.

      Thanks everyone!

      i don't know what stage I am at (so concerning).  My family doctor found the mole and removed it in her office.  She sent it  for biopsy and didn't say anything about the results other than It was localized and I needed to go to a plastic surgeon.  She didn't tak a large piece, a small piece.  She isn't very friendly so I don't know and I am unaware of the process.  I just can't wait for the next steps so I know what's going on.

      Thanks Mary! What does it mean when they say localized?

      my family doctor removed the mole herself and is now sending me to a plastic surgeon and a dermatologist after these results.  I am so scared.
