Hello again everyone ,
Well ,I'm still learning how to navigate through the system . Had a biopsy on the 8th of this month , and was feeling great that I never got the dreaded post biopsy phone call . But,I decided to call today just to get the results anyway ,and was told how sorry they were to have misplaced my path report , then informed me it was another melanoma . Sigh. So I told them to forward the results to my surgeon , who is on vacation for a couple of weeks , which will put my WLE some six weeks post biopsy . I suppose that's not a big deal, and I was told just to keep the punch site circled with a pen for the next few weeks so the surgeon would know where it was,since it's already healed completely . Not quite up to my standards , but what else to do? The dermatologist had looked through his scope at my lesion,and wanted to watch ,and wait,but I insisted it come off,as I have found 5 of my seven so far .
So what I've learned is to be adamant about removing what I feel to be a changing , or new lesion,and also not to take the"If you don't hear from us,it's good news" line that I hear every time I get biopsy !
Wishing you all the best…Aloha
Bob
