      My dad was diagnosed with a melanoma in situ on september. We are back with the DR and now he had another black mole removed, and we are waiting for the results. Hopefully its just displastic, I just wanted to get it off my chest im really nervous
      Love

          Being nervous is normal, but try to keep it in perspective. Most black moles are benign. And this one was caught early, given the September removal. So, even it is melanoma it is probably nothing to worry about. 

          Having an in situ melanoma is scary because it is cancer, but most docs don't think much of it. It is more accurately a pre-cancer state and that in situ spot has very little likelihood of causing future problems. 

          Your dad is lucky to have a loving daughter to care about him.
