Thanks, I'm seeing the derm on Monday. I was going to have to wait until March 10th but they had a last minute cancellation on Monday. I'm hoping for the best, and yes, the podiatrist was out of order in his suggestions and I got the punch biopsy on Wed.

This has been such a disorienting but swift process. Thanks so much for this email. 

The podiatrist was able to do a punch biopsy which goes into the skin versus the shave. He "jumped the gun" by mentioning wide excision and apologized for this because as you mentioned I have not been diagnosed which was upsetting since he was so concerned and wanted to go in right away. 

My foot was ithcing last night but I feel OK. My doctor then referred me to a dermatologist. I called their office and they said they can't see me until March 10th and then they called me back to say they could see me on Monday. 

I'm waiting for results that they said will get in next week. This is beyond helpful. Now I'm at step 1 – I had the biopsy, waiting for results and seeing what happens next. 

I'm glad I came on this forum to ask for some feedback. My podiatrist looked really overwhelmed and busy so I'm hoping that my experience with the derm is different. 

Thank you for sharing.

Wow, thanks so much for this post Cynthia. I learned a lot from it and it helped better orient me for my appointment.

The podiatrist was able to do a punch biopsy which goes into the skin versus the shave. He "jumped the gun" by mentioning wide excision because I have not been diagnosed. The whole process has been quiete odd and disorienting. 

I'm waiting for results that they said will get next week. In the event results come back, WLE is going to be the first step. I have a super high pain tolerance too so I can relate. 

In the event that I need a WLE, I will defintely reach out via email. I had a blood clot in my leg a few years back so my doctor explained that I'd have to go on special medication before a procedure. 

I get the biopsy done at a hospital that also treats cancer. I struggled a lot in my 20's and wasn't always insured so I'm really hoping for the best since now I have a job and I am insured. I will come back and update you all when the time comes. 

Thank you, Cynthia!
