      I was thinking this…  Would it be advisable to go to the derm. appointment May 6th and let them biopsy anything concerning at that point?   After that, I would begin the picture process.  It seems futile to start it before the appointment, but maybe not?  Obviously should have started taking pictures 8 months ago!  

      But yes, that sounds logical.  Especially since I am someone with lots of atypical moles, they could go crazy and rack up huge medical bills just biopsying things that are in fact stable!
