    Hi Everyone

    From what I have read my melanoma is fairly rare. Acral Lentiginous Melanoma. Is there anyone out there who has the same disease and can offer me any info? I am stage 4. The primary liesion was on the middle toe which was amputated. A year later another liesion appeared on the ankle which was surgically excluded. I would like to know if ALM is any more dangerous or aggressive than other types of melanoma or are all melanoma basically the same?

    Thanks for any help.
