        The report is listed below.  After speaking to the doctor and reading through the forum, I guess I should somewhat consider myself lucky,  It could have been worse.  Now it's upt to me and my body to try and avoid these in the future.  Defeinetely need to get more regular checkups.  I have a tendency to skip a year hear and there.  Any other thoughts on the report?  Thanks.

          Thank you for the reply.  I have to say finding this board was great.  As mentioned, I have always had moles/freckles, so I'm not new to the whole dermatology thing, but when I got that first bad report it freaked me out.  I defeinetly will continue to monitor my body and have the wife keep an eye on things too.  Thanks again for the reply.  I wish you well in your battle with these darn lesions.  Cheers.
