Timemaster:
Good morning,
Todays episode sent me through a whole turmoil of emotions.
Panel 1: "Yay, Hanners!" :laugh:
Panel 3&4: "Ugh, cancer?" :-o
Panel 5: "Fuck, cancer!!!!" :cry:
Jephs commentary: "OK, no cancer." :angel:
But I donīt know what this will be about. Maybe Hanners gets a severe anexity attac (no wonder) and the friends (including Faye and Dora) have to team up to help her out of that. I donīt know. Everything is possible from here on.
Weīll see. :-)

BenRG:
My reaction is probably slightly different because my mother had this experience and the mole in question was precancerous. She ended up having a few lymph nodes removed because of it.
Anyway, we know that Hannelore's anxiety and hypochondria can combine to serious effect. Remember the 'meningitis' mild stress headache? Trying to convince her that she doesn't have The Big C will be difficult. Jeph hasn't really written Hannelore focus for a long time (the space arc was the last, IIRC). It will be interesting to see how he thinks the character has changed since then.

That would be the sensible thing to do, yes. This is Hannelore we're dealing with and, when she's on full-power anxiety, she's not always as sensible as she could be.
[Edit]
FWIW, I'm wondering if, rather than focus on maybe being sick, Jeph will focus on how this brush with mortality affects Hannelore's thinking. Maybe she starts brooding about all the things that she hasn't done yet because she is letting her fears paralyse her. So she writes a "things to do before I die" list. Some are sweet ('Have a first kiss'), some are silly ('Eat a fantastically unhealthy but delicious meal') and some show her wilder side ('Learn to pole dance').
At one point she tells Marten and Faye that one of her undone things is to have a threesome with them roleplaying as her slaves. There is a panel of Marten and Faye doing their 'freak-out' faces before Hanners flees, weeping with laughter. The last panel is her ticking 'Prank Marten and Faye' on her list.
NilsO:
Yay, Hanners! This is going to be a very good week. My guess is that Hanners has scratched a mole, causing it to bleed. It should be enough to cause a full panic attack. What about Winslow, will he be able to help? Will Hanners run down to Faye and Marten's apartment, or to Marigold and Momo? In both cases, she might accidentally surprise someone performing sexy shenanigans. How will Claire react if Hanners comes screaming, half-naked, into Marten's room?

Probably mostly the same way anyone else would: Surprise, outrage and embarrassment (and, likely, a thrown pillow and/or Pintsize). Then, after a tearful Hannelore tells her story, she'll end up in the middle of a three-way group hug (four-way, if Faye is awake) in the middle of which she sobs about them touching her 'unclean flesh'.
FWIW, Claire not being used to frantic friends charging in at inopportune moments is the penalty of her likely having never lived in the dorms.
KOK:
Read your poster, Hannelore.
That looks more like a scab than a mole to me. Maybe she got a very small wound without noticing.
