      Back from the Doc. the doc is guessing that it is basal cell. My wife was ok with them doing a shave biopsy since it was thought to be basal cell and they didn't want put a hole in my wifes back if they don't need too. If it was me i would have still asked for an excision but my wife went with a shave.

      anyway…. im uploading a video i took with my phone during the visit and will post the link as soon as it is finished uploading. You can hear everything the doctor was saying.

      Thanks

      My wife decided we should just keep the 10am appointment on monday and go in and request an excisional biopsy and if they can't do it we will just reschedule.

       

      also here is a pic of the enlarged mole.

      No I didn't request an excisional biopsy when making the appointment. I will call in the morning before the appointment.

       

      Its a 45 minute drive for us so I don't want to make the trip if they can't do it then. Thanks for letting us know.
