Hi, I think it’s a good thing they removed the suspicious spots and that 2 have already came back fine. You are your best advocate and if you feel enough time wasn’t spent on your exam then I would seek out a second opinion. Definitely perform monthly skin checks and get anything looked at that bothers you. If a mole came back as melanoma in a different spot then your first in situ then it would most often be a new primary melanoma and not recurrence. Usually if it comes back in the same spot or elsewhere inside your body then it has recurred. The good part is an in situ diagnosis has a very low chance of returning.

I was extremely anxious after my diagnosis, I waited months before I decided to seek out anti anxiety meds. I took setraline daily for a few months and it was helpful. I still would have worries and anxiety but I was much more level and could handle the stress better.
