      He received the call while driving to the airport (due back next week). He also didn't list me on the HIPPA form (he has seen a doctor about 3 times in his entire 50 years and didn't know what it was). The derm won't release the path to me so we have to wait until he gets back.  I forced him to go and have his moles checked (he has a higher than average amount) because I noticed one that didn't look okay to me. I'm glad I did. I'll report back once we get the pathology. I'm so grateful for this forum/foundation. Thank you so much.

      Thank you. Your response is very reassuring. I'm feeling better about it all today and so is my husband.   I'm going to donate to this foundation and stay on the forum.
