Not that I am a full believer in that being possible, but I don't want to take any chances! I feel so grateful that I have been able to participate in these trials. I would not have been able to do ANYTHING except Interferon if I had stayed in Roanoke, VA. I guess I should stop whining about going to NYC all the time... Hope you're doing well!<br /><br />Kate, I love that y'all are going for full body checks! Please let me know how it goes. I would LOVE to meet you in person one day!<br /><br />Lisa, 32 biopsies?! Oh my! If I talk to the dermatologist directly, I will ask what other centers are participating in the trial. Wishing YOU all the best!<br /><br />Rich, thank you as always!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983041684417338248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-89983208513991701222011-07-07T14:52:32.401-04:002011-07-07T14:52:32.401-04:00Very interesting, thanks for sharing the informati...Very interesting, thanks for sharing the information. I'll have to find out whether the UCCC folks are doing this.

As someone who has had 32 biopsies, I would love to know more about where the ten centers in the U.S. are. If there is any way you can share that info, I know so many folks would appreciate it. Had my six month mole check today. I will pray that you get the "all clear" too!

By the way, because of you and your story, I scheduled a full skin check with a dermatologist coming up in a few weeks here. I even got my husband scheduled for one. So thank you for spreading the word about melanoma awareness and sharing your story and journey on your blog. I'm not sure how I came across it but I'm so glad I did and it would be nice to one day meet in person! Sending good thoughts for your biopsy results :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18056293502544777703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-41371422885319168672011-07-07T01:47:44.525-04:002011-07-07T01:47:44.525-04:00That's so cool Chelsea! I'd love to see so...That's so cool Chelsea! I'd love to see some sort of "non-invasive" assessment process for moles (I wish I had the option to help with the trial)<br /><br />I'm coming up on my 5th skin check this month and I've had one or 2 moles biopsied each time I go (I've been told each time that I'm not a heavy mole "producer", so I get the feeling she's just taking the most suspicious one or two each time I visit... making sure I get my money's worth!). So far everything has been ok, but it's always scary.<br /><br />Biopsies are simple enough that I'm sure it's a "better safe than sorry" attitude that dermatologists take. Even if it ever turns out to be something, I really don't think they're a big worry since they're being caught so early.<br /><br />Even so, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that everything is fine (and that you get the results as soon as possible... Waiting is the worst!)<br /><br />---<br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669062810181801599noreply@blogger.com
