        I agree with the mind set of "wait and see", which is the program I am on now.

        Although I'm in the doctors office twice a year for the skin exam, I have no interest in just waiting for another mole to turn on me – then to have another large scar on my body.

         

        I'd much rather have a few small marks from the mole removal in advance. I'd like to find another doctor that's more willing to biopsy.

        I am in upstate (rochester) NY.
