I am going to a dermatologist whom specializes in skin cancer, what is the chances i will have to have surgery?
There are many types of skin cancer. Some are very dangerous and some are not. My father has a cancerous mole removed and he was fine. Others are not so lucky. The problem with some skin cancers they go deep into the tissue and will require further treatments. Your dermatologist will explain what treatment plan if any he will advise for you. Tanning beds are very harmful stay away from them and also from the sun. Keep covered as much as possible.

You should go over the details of the pathology report with your doctor and dermatologist. In addition to reporting the cancer and type, it would report if the margins of the sample were clear. If the mole removal was not by a punch cut then it will be likely that the dermatologist will recommend surgery to ensure all cancer cells were removed (e.g. clear margins). But I am getting ahead of the process… Have a long talk with your dermatologist. Bring a trusted friend or family member with you to the appointment. Share your questions with the friend beforehand. Then between the two of you all questions will get answers and remembered. A Journal also helps. Take care.
