          My husband has also had a couple dysplastic nevi biopsied, one came back classified as moderately atypical and one severely atypical. Essentially, the derm referred to them as "funny moles." For the severely atypical one, they removed cleaner margins around that one, but left the moderate one as is for now. The derm explained that while they are benign, those that are classified as "severe" have cells that could potentially turn into cancer. In other words, they aren't "normal" cells, but ones that could misbehave in the future, especially in those with a history of melanoma.

                Thank you, Julie! I have to agree with you and your comment about suffering being a great teacher. In just this past week, I have had much more clear perspectives brought into my life, when I didn't even know I needed it! I guess that can be considered a silver-lining through this process thus far.

                  Thank you for your reply! It helps to hear from others who have "been there, done that," so to speak. I'm trying to prepare myself for what may be to come, yet hope and pray we can bypass that for now. While you underwent (or are undergoing treatments), have you been able to continue working? Living a relatively "normal" life? Best of luck to you!
