I was diagnosed in 2006 and have check-ups every 3 months. I also had a previously removed mole grow back in the same spot right before my wedding.

I've had tons of moles removed and had everything from mutated pigment to mutated cells to sarcoma but Dr's can seriously vary on what they think it means. I'd DEF speak to your RE and then get a 2nd (and / or 3rd) from a dermatologist!

Or else a whole lot of us would be getting skin cancer!! Also, your diagnosis was non-melanoma? Very good. I'm sure it can be treated.<br /><br />I think IF treatments can be stressful on our bodies, and we have to take really, really good care of ourselves to rebound from those bodily insults. Some assvice, for what it's worth. Take 5000iu of Vitamin D a day. It's supposed to help prevent cancers. And if you are staying out of the sun and using sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, you won't be making much of your own Vitamin D. I really don't think this is the end for you. As much as you like your doctor, I don't think she knows much about IVF. Best to get your RE's take on this one before calling it.Phoebehttp://talesphoenix.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651636752231816515.post-6453358023399042062010-03-12T21:07:51.208-05:002010-03-12T21:07:51.208-05:00Oh, JJ that's terrible.

It made me realize that I had to totally rethink everything and that I was going to end up somewhere I never thought I'd be.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651636752231816515.post-10528553726001439222010-03-11T11:39:26.791-05:002010-03-11T11:39:26.791-05:00How scary for you, JJ.

I'm really hoping everything comes back as well as can be expected in this situation. <br /><br />As for me, IVF caused a reawakening of previous cyst issues (acne is one thing, but these are systemic)-- so far, none are cancerous, but many are quite painful. I actually go to the dermatologist next Tuesday to have him look at a cyst growing in a tendon on my forearm that has grown larger since he last saw me (pre-IVF). So, yeah. While our family plans are pretty well closed at this point, I think I would be devastated to be told that I no longer have the choice due to the hormones/issues that go along with IVF and pregnancy. <br /><br />Thinking of you...katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056463808792013011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651636752231816515.post-33151458538166931652010-03-10T18:56:55.093-05:002010-03-10T18:56:55.093-05:00Here from LFCA...

Saying a prayer for you that you get the all clear phone call soon!<br /><br />You did get me thinking though. in 2003 I had Mohs Surgery for a mole I had on my upper right chest. I never disclosed this information with any REs or other IF Doctors... Never thought to for some reason. Maybe becuase I caparmentalize {sp?} my health history??? I have not noticed any growths/changes though but then again we never did IVF but did do Follistim Injects a few times.<br /><br />Good luck hun!!!
