I have a cancerous nevus (aka mole) on my arm. There is no way in hell I am getting that removed because the operation is long and painful because it covers my whole right arm from the shoulder to the elbow. Also it costs a shit load of money because they have to do skin grafts and most of the time the skin doesn't exactly match in texture.

I have a brownish-redish mole kinda under/on my breast :happysad: I'm scared to get it removed

But i'm a usaf dependant, so it would probably be free.

(totally unrelated)I just had a Ct scan done and 2 MRI's and tricare wouldn't pay for it all, so who knows? Maybe I'll have to pay 20%?

The last time I got a glasses prescription the doc told me I'd be a good candidate for the surgery because my vision has for the most part stopped getting worse. Still, my contact lens prescription is a year older than my glasses prescription and I can tell that it needs updating so I'm not so convinced yet. My vision is pretty bad, my prescription is around -7.00 diopter. So I'm gonna wait until I have some more evidence that my vision really is leveling out.

I want to get Lasik, but my eyes are still getting worse...plus I've heard things like loss of night vision and stuff...I'll wait to hear about more long term effects.
