          Until they biopsy your mole, you really won’t know how thick it is. My initial was about 1.5 cm in diameter but the thickness was 1.2mm. Another that I had was 5 cm long (just looked like a bunch of freckles) but only .3mm thick. Don’t get too far ahead of yourself. It will only make you crazy!

          Best of luck tomorrow!
