    I am just starting my journey. I am looking at either Wake Forest of UNC. I would also appreciate any oncologist recommendations. I actually live closer to the Hickory/ Mooresville/Statesville area but would be willing to drive the distance for comprehensive care. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

      There are 4 centers in NC listed here: http://melanomainternational.org/web-resources/cancer-centers/#33

      Sounds like you're looking in the right places. Not sure of your stage or what part of the journey you're in right now, but always best to find a melanoma oncologist (not a general oncologist) to get the best melanoma treatment and care.

      All the best,
