        Hi,
        I got my results today and the good news is that it is not melanoma! The nurse on the phone told me that the cells are “acting funny” however and it needs to be fully excised. What does “acting funny” mean? She was adamant that it needs to be done ASAP, what might this mean?

        Thank you!

            That is true, I have no facts, so at this point there really is not much to worry about. I will try to distract myself until I know for sure 🙂 Thank you!

              Thank you for the reply,

              Yes, it is so hard to wait for results like this, I’m hoping I can figure out how to relax.

              I asked him if it is possible for a mole that looks like this and has been changing to be benign and he said “it can, but..” and then he started talking about something else like he didn’t want to say anything more. I have a lot of moles, none that look like this one and this was the only one in the area.

              He cut it like 1cm deep and the mole goes deeper..so if it is melanoma it will be hard to measure how deep it goes. I assume that’s why he looked back at it with a disappointed look.

              Is it normal for a benign mole to be deep like that? I had no idea they grew that way.
