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.

I also have been seeing another oncologist for the past 3 years for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, which has been stable for the past two years (last treatment was Nov 2009).
