Okay here goes….Diaganosed with atypical nodular non-pigmented Melanoma on 1/13/12. Surgery a week later with SNB, week later path came back negative. Original in office shave biopsy showed depth of 1.85mm, however in the scope it looked to be very active at the bottom of the shave. So assumed I would probably move to Stage II.

Okay here goes….Diaganosed with atypical nodular non-pigmented Melanoma on 1/13/12. Surgery a week later with SNB, week later path came back negative.

However the good news is the SNB came back negative and the excision showed no sign of the Melanoma, so due to depth I went back to Stage Ib. Now my head is still spinning with the wait and see attitude that everything is telling me, diligent skin exams and regular checkups. Is this it, after reading some posts I feel I have cheated and no big deal, but there is still a strong chance this thing will resurface elsewhere. Just curious of other experiences and suggestions. Even different health care professionals have different suggestions. I really feel kind of crummy for asking due to many others who are fighting this disease much harder than I am. However I know they are the ones with experience with it so I feel I have to ask, best to all and an advance thank you for any reply.
