Follow up

So I had my follow up appointment @ the dermatologist yesterday.  The biopsy came back negative...meaning it was not cancer.  My doctor did mention that it was pre-cancerous though.  The cells in the mole were changing.  Thank gosh they removed it.  I just found another mole on my toe that I will have my doctor look at when I go in for my next skin check.

Everyone should go get their skin checked yearly for any odd looking moles.  As a woman, you could have your regular doctor look over your moles at your yearly check up.  That is where I had my skin check that found the mole that was cancer 4 year ago.  Checking your own moles monthly is something to do also.  Look online for pictures of moles so you know what to look for when trying to find any suspicous looking ones on your body.

Both moles that I had removed on my body were small...about the size of ball point pen tip.  That was it.  Regular check ups are good and ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN.  I've learned that being tan is not important in my life.  Living a long life...pale & cancer free is alright by me!
