      I am so sorry to hear about your Mother. I, too, am in BC, Victoria to be exact. There are no melanoma specialists in BC, if you can get your Mother to Dr.Smylie that would be wonderful, phone and talk to his office first. If you need numbers, etc, just post here and we can give you all the information you need. Where in BC are you? If you are on the coast, then Dr.Thompson in Seattle at Fred Hitchinson is another fabulous mel specialist. DId your Mother have a SNB? So many questions,  please don't feel intimidated with the folks here, this is a credible site and I have been here for 10 years…this is the best place for good solid ,current, reiable information and support..I wish you well, and remember we are here to help…Joan R
