        Thanks John, I really appreciate your honest perspective. It’s hard to know when something’s normal or not when you haven’t experienced it before.  It’s tricky to keep a balance between being cautious and worrying too much too. Knowing that I’m in a higher risk category, I feel like my best bet is catching anything as early as possible, and I want a doctor that is on the same page.

        It really helps to hear that I’m not overreacting, even though I haven’t been diagnosed yet, and hopefully won’t ever be.

        Blessings to you and yours as well.

          Thanks Ed! I’ll look into mole mapping. And maybe next time I’ll try to get an appointment with a doctor instead of a physician’s assistant.
