        Hello,

        I have the atypical mole syndrome to. Over the years I had more biopsies but only one turned up to be melanoma and I discovered early. My mole modified a little and I got it out. I do mole mapping at dermatologist every 3 months.

          It's hard here I think in advanced stages ,in any disease, because we don't have so many approved treatments and are very expensive

            I don't know what treatments are paid for the advanced stages, I think in this spring they approved some treatments that were available only in trials

              In Romania – Bucharest and yes I am romanian. I was surprised when I read here how many problems you have with the insurance.  Here is not perfect but much better I think. We have acces to public healthcare and many tests are free if you are employed. I pay some of them , like nodes ultrasound (40 US dollars ) , S 100 (20 US dollars ) but they are not very expensive and we have many good doctors.
