I don't have melanoma!

Good news-- I don't have melanoma!

Got the call today.

The suspicious mole is actually just a "moderate to severe atypical mole" (exact quote).

Basically (I think) 'pre-melanoma':

Mutated,

NOT cancer yet,

more likely to become cancer later.

No worries!

Just one more appointment:

check it,

possibly excise more tissue;

make sure it's really gone!

(Note: this is an actual life update from me. I just formatted it as a poem for fun. Let me know if you have any questions.)

(P.S. My next post will be the one I promised about Parker Pyne Investigates & my thoughts on short story collections. Sorry if anyone has been impatiently waiting!! I got slightly derailed by a sudden bolt of weird inspiration and then this update post, but I'll be back to the plan after this! :) ) [update: here it is!]
