Thanks to you also, Linda, for the information. I hesitated and still feel bad for asking for help with this 0 diagnosis from people who are dealing with much more serious stages of this disease. I just didn’t want to miss anything. I thank you and everyone else on this board for sharing your stories and at least I learned enough from reading here to know to ask for the medical records on this.
Wishing you the best,

Janner,
Thanks so much for the reply and the link. I'll do some more reading. Lots of my family members have had basal cell cancers removed but I have remained sort of ignorant about all this stuff and all the testing. I have a lot of sun damage. I had a pre-cancerous spot removed in 1995, but now I'm not even sure about what that was because I don't have the records on it and this dermatologist says the other spots that look exactly like it are benign. And I do have one mole that is the same dark color as this removed one was, but it hasn't changed, except that I don't think these 2 moles were that dark when I was younger.
I appreciate the info on the PET scans and knowing that what the dermatologist is doing is standard. I just wanted to know if there was anything else I should be asking for when I go back this week. More reading.
Take care,
Browneyes
