      I checked in about 10 days ago about having 5 moles removed for biopsy. I received a call from the doctor today that 4 of them came back clear/negative. However, the largest mole came back “moderately abnormal” and I needed to come in to make sure it was completely removed. He seemed encouraged that I had nothing to worry about, however he now wants to take off 3 or 4 more moles on my back to make sure we error on the side of caution. Was hoping for 5 “all clear” but I guess I should be thankful with a moderately abnormal and not melanoma. Now to wait 2 more weeks for the rest of it.
