      Thank you for your quick response. The dermatogist thought it was suspicious enough to cut the whole things (and then some) out and biopsy right away based on the color, diameter, border and asymmetry. I am hoping she was just being precautious since we don't know how long it has been there. I may have results next week. I'm staying off the Internet and pray I have good results to report back!
