      Yes, it's shocking.  I was diagnosed with an early melanoma at age 29.  That was 18 years ago.  Truthfully, 28 isn't all that young when it comes to melanoma.  It's the number one cancer for women ages 25-29.  Get copies of your pathology reports as the other mention.  Post them here.  Ask questions.  We can help you navigate, but we need more information (which would be on the pathology reports). 

      Best wishes,
