        Janner, thanks for your quick response. I understand this could go either way, and as I said, she is going in tomorrow to have the 2nd biopsy done by a different and hopefully, more reputable doctor.

        I wish that I could say I am not fearful. There are some concerns, though. The mole had developed a "ring" around it and was changing, which unfortunately, was not seen in the biopsy due to the poor sample. Trying to remain calm, but am definitely fearful.

        Thanks again
