Better safe than sorry, right! I'm letting the docs do their thing, not taking any chances. 😉

I think the PA I spoke with used bad wording…to them the medical jargon is a second language, to us it's Greek. I will find out what this means when I go to my appointment.
The Path report (just got to see it ) read 'Moderate Architectural Disorder and Moderate Cytologic Atypia of Melanocytes-dysplastic' . They told me it needs to come off because it will likely turn into Melanoma. There's another mole right beside the ones biopsied, looks about the same. I would think both will be removed. We will see.
Thank you for your reply!

Thanks for the input! Perhaps the wording used was inappropriate, I have no idea what the PA was talking about. I started out at the Head/Neck Center, they have now refered me to the Melanoma Center. I guess I will find out what they mean once I go to my appointment.
I did show the regrowth to the Head/Neck doc, she said she had no idea what it could be, hence the referal to the Derm. No it does not look anything like my other moles..looks very different from any of my old ones, and I've had many many moles since childhood, always disliked them (apperance…). I really hope it's something other than a Melanoma.
Thanks again!

Glad to know your husband is doing well! 🙂 I will keep you in my thoughts..
My doctors are great: Dr Lewis and Dr Frais (PA) and my most awesome Plastic Surgeon Dr Villa, who reconstructed my ear yesterday.
Quite sore today, hoping this was the only necessary surgery…awaiting final biopsy readings.
Thank you for encouraging words! 🙂
