        I had a raised mole on my leg. As far as I can remember it was always there. It changed texture last year (nothing else changed), it just felt more solid/hard. I made an apointment to get it looked at, the doctor went ahead with the biopsy, even though he suggested it wasn't anything to worry about. It came back as nodular malignant melanoma. I'm currently stage IIIA and have been NED since last summer.
