        Upon re reading that word-vomit like story I thought I should just clear up what my main question is: 

        in light of the fact that the pathologists at my local pathology clinic seem to (I think..) have come to the consensus that the mole is/was ok, 

        Is it possible that the diagnosis could progress from 

        A) we think the mole is benign but want to double check with a second opion 

        to

        B) the mole is not fine, but in fact is malignant, and may have spread beyond the site Despite now having been removed (hence, lymph node check?)

         

        or is more likely that the second opionion is for the purpose of medical records/ making me aware of other potential moles …
