      Well I had my wedge lung biopsy 2 days ago and the preliminary results are that it is melanoma.  It was my first question to my husband and daughter in the recovery room. Although I knew it was very likely it was still hard to hear, and I know it was hard for them to hear too. 

      I will be talking to my oncologist soon, and just want to know if anyone has any suggestions about what questions I should be sure to ask.  I am BRAF negative, was stage 3C prior to this and have not had any treatment other than CLND left neck. 

      Thanks for being here as a place for people struggling and seeking answers to meet.
