    On Melanoma Monday I wanted to check back in here to let you all know what a tremendous gift this community was to me a decade ago when I was diagnosed, particularly between the intial results and receiving the results of my WLE/SNB. Ten years and two beautiful children later, I am forever grateful for the gifts I have received and continue to keep everyone in this community in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

      Congrats! I was diagnosed almost 2 months ago as stage 1b- and have been terrified because I feel like all I see are the people who have progressed.  Seeing your story gives me even more hope.  Thank you for sharing!

        Also- was it a hard choice to have children? I was diagnosed right after my baby was born. I don't know what to think about getting pregnant again.

        For us it wasn't a hard choice, though I did work with a therapist for a few months after my diagnosis to process what it all meant to me. Would be happy to talk more off-line.
