I go to Dr. Johnny Gurgen at Leesburg Dermatology. They have an office on Rolling Acres near Griffen. I think they're a bit too eager to do surgeries. I have a "mild" atypical mole they want to cut out, and a "moderate" one. I told them if/when either becomes "severe" I'll gladly let them cut me again. But right now I have a gap on my nose where they cut out another one and a gouge behind my ear where they took the skin to sew onto the gap on my nose. It'll be another month (it's been almost a month) before they're both completely closed and covered with healthy skin tissue again.
That's after 2 melanoma surgeries, 5 weeks of radiation for a carcinoma on my forehead, and another slow mohs to remove another atypical mole from my back. All within the last 12 months.
So from now on - if it's not a severe mole or actual cancer, it can wait. I might just change to this Aliant you are all raving about, when I pick my health care plan for next year.
