      i am interested in talking with anyone that has had a diagnosis of Primary Dermal Melanoma.  i have been told it is very rare and has a better prognosis than most other melanomas.  In my case, I went to a surgeon to have a left chest wall "Inclusion Cyst" removed.  To my surgeon's suprise the pathology came back Melanoma.  My surgeon imediately referred me to another surgeon to have another surgury to establish "clean margins"  and perform a sentinel node biopsy.  This should happen within the next two week.  I also have been seeing

He immediately ordered a PET/CT which was negative for any further disease. now I am just keeping my fingers crossed that my sentinel node comes back negative as well.

Toss in a pugnacious, arguementative, negative personality and what do you have? A combination of DanT, Jag and BG with a pot belly and a skinny bottle
