Mareglia

Thanks for your replies! I feel a lot better today. Our derm has been amazing and spent two days calling everyone she could think of to gather the best information possible to answer all of my questions. She arranged a consult appointment for me Thursday with a pediatric plastic surgeon from Boston Children’s who comes up here to Maine once a month. Yesterday we sent the slides over to Dr. Mihm in Boston as well. I’ve read a number of articles written by him about Spitz Nevi and feel good about getting a second opinion from him. I feel like we’re in great hands. Trying to relax and put things into perspective. 

So, after the appointment I was able to obtain her previous records. A year and a half ago it was 6mm x 7mm, and now it’s 9mm x 10mm. She has grown quite a bit since then, however, gained about 18 lbs, so it may just be the skin stretching and normal proportional mole growth? I reported this to the derm and she said we’ll go ahead and do the biopsy tomorrow and send it in. 

Can someone please talk me down?? I’m so sick with worry. I’m 22 wks pregnant with my fourth and cannot calm down or sleep. I’m overwhelmed. I’ve convinced myself that this is mestastic melanoma because we waited 3 years. How irrational am I being??
