      I too am in the same situation. My husband has a melanoychia on the thumb and they did the biopsy is the mosh office of the dermatologist. They were so matter of fact. We don’t know if it’s cancer or not. Been waiting 2 weeks for results when they said about a week. I’m a nervous wreck. Can’t eat or sleep. I keep reading how bad it could be.
      Anxiety is consuming me. I don’t know how you can handle another one after waiting and now husband has another in middl digit. of other hand.
