Skin Biopsy Update

I just finished talking with the nurse at my dermotologist's office and got the official "no cancer" report on the three moles that I had removed last week. Phew!!! I don't think that I could have handled another positive cancer report right now. The nurse did share, however, that one of the biopsies was classified by the pathologist as a "Clark's mole". I never even heard of this term before now, but apparently, this means that the mole was non-cancerous but that I have a skin type that is "susceptible to cancer". Hmmm...blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin....I could have told them that before they even did the biopsy! Oh well, we have it officially documented now I guess.
