      Hi Cindy

      Nothing we do to save our lives is ever 'Overkill' – go with your gut feel and do whatever necessary.

      I have only recently started researching my disease and if I may, I would like to ask a question here on your thread – it is relevant so I don't feel I would be hijacking your post.

      I have read somewhere that biopsies are discouraged and they advocate the exclusion method (ie rather remove the whole mole straight away than have it biopsied)

      Is this true and and why do they recommend this.

      Thank you for your post Cindy – I have now learnt that there can be more than one primary – shew – so much to absorb.

      I wish you the very best of luck and my you stay Stage 1 forever!

      Regards

      Laura

      Thank you noisy77 and Lucassi for your replies – it is good for me to know I am not alone.

       I have only just started exploring my disease so unfortunately I cannot offer too much information just yet.  I have not received any further treatment so far and hope it will never be necessary 🙂

      I am scheduled for a PET scan tomorrow and then I see my oncologist for results on Friday – I will be sure to ask many questions and then perhaps I can help answer yours. I will keep you posted.

      My positive thoughts and prayers are with both of you and your loved ones.
