        Comment : A negative control and a positive control for each antibody have been reviewed and accepdted. Two IHC stains performed. This cas has been peer-reviewed.

        I do not understand everything, but my dermatologist said that this was good news.

        I wanted to let you know.

        From now on, I will see my dermatologist once a year for a checkup and will see the life differently. It opened my eyes.

        Thank you!!

          Thank you everyone!

          48 hours before my appointment to take out the stitches and most importantly, getting the results.

          I tried to stay out of google, but that was hard…. It looks like I resigned myself to hear bad results.

          This is a picture of my spot before it was punched! Let me know what you think of it.

            Hi Mark,

            Would you take a look at the picture in the link and let me know if there is any similarity?

            This is actually the lesion I had just before the punch biopsy!
