Does it ever help you to cry—just get it out?

I was at the dermatologist yesterday. 2 abnormal moles. 2 biopsies. Same story 3 months before. I started crying and my doctor said what’s wrong? I said all of this. I just need a minute to cry, get this out. A few minutes letter i was composed, and I pushed ahead with the biopsies.

  1. I hope your biopsies are benign. Do you normally have abnormal moles or did they just pop up?

    1. Thank you for the update. How do you feeling about the results? Scott skincancer.net moderator

    2. Honestly, I feel relieved. I am not excited about being cut but I will live through it. It could be worse and I do know that.

  2. Thank you. I appreciate it. This is a new dermatologist and she told me that actually all of my moles are slightly abnormal and the issue is to decide what is normal for me and what is not. I said well maybe remove them all. She said no that is not advisable either. One of the biopsy moles from yesterday had a halo. She said she could not tell for sure what was going on with either mole so we needed to biopsy.

    1. What did your doctor say about removing them? Scott skincancer.net moderator

    2. Removing all my moles or the 2 at issue on Friday? Sorry, I was not clear what you were asking?

  3. Supporting you in this. Scott skincancer.net moderator

    1. Is that your future kitten? Scott skincancer.net moderator

    2. Yes! I’m so excited. She arrives here next Saturday.
