I am going to call my doctor about this. Thanks for your reply. Also now that I have more opinions on the matter I am not so reluctant to think about having it done. Part of me thought maybe my Dr. might have been jumping the gun a bit. Since he did not see anything, I figured there was no need to have it removed.
