Thank you all for your concern.
I do not have the path report, but I requested it, so I should have it soon.
I am sorry for the confusion.
To answer a few questions.
1. My derm is amazing. He will biopsy anything I want taken off. However, because I have so many moles, its only wise for my to remove the ones that are changing or look very suspicious. Otherwise, we would be taking off 100+ moles. They ALL defy the typical ABCD characteristics.
2. The reason why I see the derm so much is because I have so many moles. Most of the time I see him every six months, but during my pregnancies, I see him every 3.
3. The SNB was only preformed because of my family history. My derm knows my entire family and he suggested we be safe. I know is not typical, but I was fine with it.
4. I have two melanoma oncologist that are working with my derm. Both are as confused as you all are and I was told to hang tight until they make a few more calls. But they cannot explain why there were malignant cells in my SNB. The mole was sent for a second opinion and it was indeed Melanoma in Situ.
I did make a mistake in my profile. The diameter of the mole was 1X2. Super small mole, but it was dark. I would mention it was irregular, but that goes for most of my moles. This mole was just dark, which is why I asked for it to be removed.
