      Thanks for all the responses…….and @ Janner you could be very right about him confusing me with another patient, the disorganization and his failure to remember my case was problematic for me considering the diagnosis.   So that's probably a good guess, but I know they took out 1 cm margins which is more than necessary, but I don't mind if that's what he thought best and my current dermatologist agreed it was a good decision and only improves my prognosis by lowering the chances of recurrence!!  @ Lisa, not sure on the hormonal thing either I would love to hear some answers regarding that, from what I've read it should have no impact on prognosis, recurrence etc, especially when caught early…..thanks for all the replies I really appreciate the feedback!!! 🙂   Best wishes all around to everyone!!!
