Thanks for your reply Christine..we are going to see the GP on tues..so have started writing down my questions!!also have researched it a bit more and am assuming he has the localised form as opposed to the nastier systemic(which can get into the organs and bone marrow)however this wasn't told to us..but the prob i have is that the info about it says it can be diagnosed by biopsy on the 'mole'..but no biopsy was done..the only thing i think is that maybe the doc didn't wanna do it since it's on his face??but i would rather have a definate result..hmm..still stressed..
