    What does co- existing nevus: present mean? Also wonder if the fact that biopsy report states there is a downward growth of the malignant cells into the dermis is of any significance. My husband seems to deal with this cancer diagnosis as he did with his prostate cancer diagnosis- not really a big deal or concern. Almost an ignore cancer. Thinks it is rediculous to follow up often for skin checks and lymph node checks on self. I feel doctors around here play down cancer diagnosis. I have read John Hopkins recommendations for his stage of prostate cancer and given his age he would not be a candidate for the active surveillance plan he was offered and chose. Anyone else out there with prostate cancer and melanoma?
