      Thank you ladies! I'm wavering between feeling like I'll be okay no matter what and overwhelming fear that I'm awaiting a death sentence. I wish I had asked more about hemangioma so I had some information on that to cling too–but I only asked about the melanoma. And I tried to get some info on possible prognosis (again, hoping for a grain of optimism to counter all the terrifying Internet info) but he said he didn't want to walk through scenarios for a diagnosis I hadn't been given yet.

      Can anyone tell me if amelanotic melanoma and nodular melanoma are mutually exclusive? Or are they characterizing different aspects? Or are they one and the same?
