      Has anyone ever had the Total Body Photography done @ Moffitt?  In speaking with my dermatologist she mentioned that it would probably be a good idea.  I was telling her I was planning on taking pictures on my own and creating a file.  Just curious to hear from those who may have done it….

          One of my new friends does it at Siteman in Saint Louis. He was stage 1 and is now clear. Seems like a great idea to me. The way we understand it which might not be totally correct is basically he had to wear a black spedo, cameras took digital pictures from head to toe. Then when he goes back they repeat it and somehow a computer compares the pictures noting any changes. I assume the dermatologist could also look and compare the pictures as well. Of course his dermatologist looks him over just like before they started doing it as well. So it seems like a win win. But I dunno about Moffitt but I assume it is the same.
