Hello, Hello, is there anybody in there?

I am completely paranoid about getting cancer. Sorry, but that's the way I am. My Dad had skin cancer (a small patch which was cured with a small, single laser treatment) and regrettably, I have lost a few friends and neighbours to the disease. So when a mole on my head did something funny I freaked and went to the doctors. "This mole has done something funny!" "Um, you mean like singing and dancing?" "WTF?" "Sorry. That seborrheic keratosis is completely benign and there's nothing to worry about." "Can I have a second opinion?" "Yes, it's the same as my first one." I got sighed at, but the doctor referred me to a specialist who took on a more serious stance. I went today. "There's really nothing to worry about." "But it did something funny a while back!" "Like singing or dancing?" "Stop it." He took a long hard look using a hand microscope thingy. &qu
