        Glad to know that my report is consistent.  

        I have been check by a dermatologist when the biopsy occurred then after the excision I saw an oncologist who gave me a through check.  I also just had my first 3mo. apt with a full check where I opted to have another mole removed that appeared around 2012 and has grown about 1.5X, but it has no visual signs of melanoma.  I was glad to have it removed but…. The Dr. was about to do a shave biopsy on it, and I questioned him about that asked if a punch would be better incase it were melanoma to stage it better. He did the punch biopsy however the mole was larger than the punch size so I still have some edges of the mole left.  I feel like he should have did a small excision to completely removed it not just part.
