Okay, so back in March I posted a blog about Rachael's and Dylan's visit to the doctor. The doctor had referred Dylan to the Dermatologist to have a mole checked out. Finally after a nine week wait list he got to go in on this last Tuesday. The doctor checked him out and said his moles look very normal and to make sure that he always wears sunscreen when he's playing outside. The doctor gave him a pamphlet of pictures of what moles should and shouldn't look like and his nurse took pictures so we can keep an eye out for any changes.
While Dylan was getting his clothes back on I told him that I had a mole on my toe that looked like one in the pictures. On our way out, Dylan told the doctor that I had a mole on my toe that he should look at. The doctor looked at me and had his nurse make me an appointment right then. I asked him if i needed a referral first and he said he would make an exception for me. I was also like "What about the nine week wait list?" He told me I just had to go back to the front desk and check in and pay my co-pay.
It was my turn now. Dylan waited in the hallway with the nurse. The doctor did end up removing my mole and sent it off to the lab. On my way out I was told it would take about a week for the results to come back. So here I sit still waiting impatiently to find out if it's cancerous or not? My toe is still sore too and it will be for up to a month, so we won't be hiking again for a while.
