We know from personal experience not to trust one MD's reading of a pathology report. Sad but true. Get a copy of the pathology report (this is routine, so don't worry about offending anyone) and have another MD take a look at it, preferably your primary care physician. I don't mean to scare you, but you should be extra, extra careful. You just can't take chances with skin cancer. Email me if you have questions/concerns.P. A.

I often think it has to do with how we have lost the sense of community with those who practice medicine.
