Well yesterday was one week after I had 5 moles sent for biopsy, and I have not received a call. I was told 1 to 2 weeks, so I’ll just have to hold tight another weekend. Trying to take things one day at a time, but I have moments of weakness. Thanks again for all of your kind words of support. I’ve reflected back on them a time or two.

I definitely had some moments of weakness and worry this weekend, but looking back at all of your comments really helped a lot. Every time I started to let myself worry too long, I would read some of your feedback and remind myself to be in the moment with my wife and daughter. Thank you to those who have chimed in. No results yet, but it’s obviously only been a few days.

Thank you so much for sharing this story. I am 30 years old and my daughter just turned 2 in April. Being with my family and in our routine definitely helps. My mind typically starts to race when I’m laying in bed or sitting at my desk, but I am doing my best to stay positive. My concern really stems from having so many moles that I can’t honestly tell when they came or if they changed. Until I saw the dermatologist I honestly never even considered taking pictures of my back or keeping track of them. Doing my best to remind myself that there is nothing I can do now but wait and see. I’ve always been someone that struggles when I don’t have control over a situation or an outcome. What you said about being worried about something I couldn’t do anything about completely resonates with me. I appreciate what you’ve shared here, as well as what others have. It’s nice to not feel alone.

Thank you for sharing your story. My thoughts have been racing about what could I or should I have done differently having waited, and what if I didn’t see a second dermatologist. Hearing about your 5 year story makes me feel a little more at ease. I thank you for your story and support.

Thank you for the insight and positive vibes. They are much appreciated at this time.
