I got a call from my surgeon thats doing my surgery on next Tuesday and said that a mole i had removed during the visit to go over the surgery to get clean margins on a couple atypical moles came back positive for melanoma. Talk about a punch in the face I was asleep when he called and basically just kind of was stunned after he told me that it was back and almost a year to the day as I found out Oct 20,2011 that i had melanoma the first time that had spread to a lymph node.

I'm guessing we caught it alittle earlier this time as he said we are just gonna have to take some more off my ear on next Tuesday. I called after i gathered myself to see if they can send me a copy of the pathology report. It was just a huge slap in the face as it was a newer mole but didn't fit the abcde category he just removed it to be safe and I'm glad he did. So I'm scheduled also to see my oncologist monday morning then, pre-op monday at lunch and then surgery on tuesday fun times.

I'm sorry, I'm not clear on if this is a recurrence of the prior melanoma or a new primary melanoma? If new primary, sounds like it was caught early which is good

I found out that it was a local recurrance after talking to the my doc again. I had my surgery on tuesday to remove more of my ear and the doc had metioned about doing radiation but that my oncologist will talk more with it about me at my appointment on the 5th.
