        Thanks that does ease my mind. I have yet to get my Pathology report. Since it was the weekend and all but i plan i retrieving it this week, probably monday or tuesday. 

        I was just skeptical because the lady over the phone just told me itwas benign and not much else. I was estatic but with anything that you expect to be cancerous you want more answers. haha

        I researched Mohs-tek, and their lab focuses primarily on skin biopsies. That is a good sign.  I guess thats why there name is called MOHS-tek. haha

        I shall post my pathology result sometime this week. Thank you :]

            Oh and to add to the whole (mole changing thing) 
            It did change. Not by a substantial amount but i did feel like it was getting larger. in 3 years my boyfriend said it probably got about 2-3 mm larger from when we originally met. 

            I have had that mole on my back for a long time, but since it was on my back i could never really keep an eye on it. 

            Though when i would remember my mole was there i felt like it was bigger or more jagged looking. 
            (Don't know if that was from my paranoia)

                      I was just skeptical because the lady over the phone just told me itwas benign and not much else. I was estatic but with anything that you expect to be cancerous you want more answers. haha

                      I researched Mohs-tek, and their lab focuses primarily on skin biopsies. That is a good sign.  I guess thats why there name is called MOHS-tek. haha

                      I shall post my pathology result sometime this week. Thank you :]

                                I do plan on having it removed. Along with another 🙂

                                I was just wondering if any of you have heard of such a thing? No where can I find info or even pictures that look like what I described. And usually when you research melanoma or skin cancer all the (worst possible pictures) show up. But never a mild looking case (though skin cancer should never be considered mild, just saying)
