anyone ever have a mole on their foot biopsied?

I see a foot doctor once in a while cause of fungus issues, the last time I went I said something like look at the moles only cause I've never noticed them before being there, kind of like out of conversation, he looked at them and said one was irregular, so I had to go see a dermatologist yesterday and they did a biopsy on them, just wondered what happens if it is cancer, will they take my foot off?

O but remove the mole. That’s how bob marley died. He hurt his foot/ankle playing soccer. When he went to the doctor they told him that he had melanoma on his foot and wanted to remove the melanoma he said no. He left it. It wound up spreading to his brain and liver and killed him. Def get it biopsied

@pearllederman the biopsy will determine what is needed next. It is unlikely you will lose the foot, but they may need to do further surgery.

@samueltyler2 she didn't say she has cancer.
