      Thank you!! I’m still so angry! I am not an emotional person at all but I legit left there crying and felt like complete shit. I knew it was melanoma. I took pics and I just knew but nope. I understand she was rushed and so far behind but if she didn’t get deep enough I would’ve been even more livid. I’m very grateful she did thank god. They’ve set me up for WLE and biopsy due to vertical growth and new staging or something. I have a team of doctors I have to meet with in a few days.
