    After meeting with my dr- this test tested the genetic make-up of my specific melanoma tumor to check the likelihood of reoccurrence. It came back that mine is highly likely. Do any of you know of a test that is valid like this? I posted the link in my last post- it is skinmelanoma. do any of you know of a test like his that is valid? Because now I am scared to death. 
     
    Thanks for all your insight.

      I had this test a few weeks ago and am waiting for results. my dr is expecting I will also indicate a high risk of recurrence based on my pathology. has your oncologist recommended treatment?
