I had a punch biopsy done for a mole and the result came back as displastic nervous with moderate atypia extending to the peripheral margin. The doctor said I should have more removed ( re-excised) but he wouldn't do it now, since I am 5 months pregnant and I just have the sutures removed ( from the punch biopsy). He said that it is not urgent and I should have it done after delivery. Is it true that I can postpone it a few months ( without anything bad to happen ). Thank you very much.
