I saw the dermatologist today and she did a full body scan to examine all of my moles and pigment changes. She said that everything looked fine and consistent for my skin with the exception of the mole on my cheekbone that caused me to call her in the first place. She biopsied it in the office and will get back to me on the results in about a week. We talked about my BRCA status and while BRCA2 has shown to have a high incidence of Melanoma, BRCA1 is inconclusive as of now. Regardless, considering my status and my mom’s basal cell cancers, she is keeping an eye on me. She encouraged a yearly check and for me to report anything new/suspicious that I see.
