       I just wanted to add not to just watch your body for moles but if you ever have a small bump, which is what I had, they thought it was a cyst for a few months til I went back cause it didn't go away.  I had no primary on my skin.  That little bump wound up being the size of an egg with malignant melanoma in the center.  That is where my whole journey started so don't stop with moles and changes, bumps that are very small should be checked right away too.  Good luck
