Ok Kit.
If a sureon at a CCC looked & said that, I quess it's ok. I'm all new to this myself, and not a Dr. But from reading these boards it was my understanding that no one can just "look" and call it benign or malignant. Maybe thats only if it's a lesion or whatever, that they must biopsy. I just did not want you, like many of us here to be walking around for months thinking all is fine. Then discover you had been miss-diagnoised and are in a late stage of cancer. If I were you, if any inkling of change takes place I would be in the hunt for any Dr. that would do a biopsy, PERIOD. No opinions, no diagnosis, just a biopsy. Even if it were a veterinarian. Good luck and wishing you well. PeteyB
