Thank you, Janner.
Now looking at my lesion. It seems that it was cut in half. The entire lesion was 5mm and it looks as though 2 mm is left. Do you think this will change the diagnosis? (I'm sorry if this sounds like me being an alarmist!)
Also, the part that says If this is a smaller portion of a larger lesion or recurs, complete removal is recommended to ensure full histologic evaluation. Is this indicated because they aren't sure what it is?
Thanks!

Thank you, POW.
I understand you're not a doctor but you have given me more information than the nurse provided me. I struggle with a lot of anxiety issues and a mole that was supposed to be nothing has sent alarm bells off from this path report.
With anxiety, I tend to always think the worst. Although, there is no indication of melanoma, waiting for the final report will be very difficult. I must tell myself that a diagnosis cannot completey alter when looking at the same lesion. There is only a very small piece left of mole.
Once again, I appreciate you taking the time to help calm an anxiety ridden gal.
All my best to you!

POW-The mole is going to be excised again to make sure everything is taken. So I was wondering about that next report. What is it looking for?
Also-I am not seeing an oncologist. I have not been diagnosed with anything. I Just had a mole taken off a few weeks ago from my regular derm.

I appreciate the time you took to explain that to me. I did not know that about a shave, I will be sure to not allow that at any other time!!
This may sound crazy but how possible is it for the second report to show something different as the first? Most of the mole was taken. There is only a little part left. Thanks!
