Stars , why did they catch the other moles when you had first taken.  Makes me question my dermo when I get check up's.  Any advise on what we should look for…

Hello Janner 

i am newly diagnosed also with stage 0 in situ,  it is October 2014 and I have had  2 follow ups and all good 

except in July she said I could go until January feeling very nervous because it is 6 months . They did a shave biopsy all I know is the report says :Histologic sections demonstrate contiguous growth of nested and single atypical melanocytes with clef ting and upward migration ,, there is subjacent dermal fibrosis and pigment incontinence , however , diagnostic invasive melanoma is not identified…   What does this mean….? 

Janner you seem very knowledgable about all this , and frankly I am scared and no one told me I need to be checking my lymph nodes … Please advise thanks Terri
