      Thanks to all especially Janner.  I went to see my surgeon today.  I was previously dxed with melonoma stage 2 clark level 4 last May and had the wide area excision.  Well unfortunately it came back.  The surgeon has scheduled a PET scan, and another Wide Excision in March….Unless the results from the pet scan come back really bad.  Thanks Janner and others your advice on what would happen next is exactly what happened.
