I don't have melanoma!
News update from today
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!]
