Patient Story - Morgan England
When typical is not typical.
In July 2021, Morgan England noticed a small spot on her arm that had changed recently and was now slightly raised off her skin. Morgan waited until her annual dermatology appointment to ask her doctor about the mole. Her doctor didn't seem concerned, saying the mole appeared typical and to return if there were any additional changes. Morgan scheduled an appointment with her dermatologist who told her the same thing, that the mole looked normal. A few weeks later her mole began bleeding and she called her dermatologist to set up an appointment to have the mole removed. One week after her mole was removed, she recieved a call from her dermatologist telling her she had stage II melanoma.

I knew it was cancer, and I knew it was bad but I didn't know how bad. In my mind it's skin cancer, they cut skin cancer out right?
