                      Please don't worry until you have reason to worry, Gert. I'm certain that this change is unrelated to your 2003 melanoma. I guess skin checks and occasional worry are the lot of melanoma patients, even with a stage 1A diagnosis. I don't know if you are a Christian person but I find verses like this very reassuring:
