      Thanks for the information!  It is overwhelming at first- but I am starting to see some light and optimism.  I think the phone call when they call you should be full of information!  Trying to figure all this out for yourself is difficult and is like learning a foreign language- but I guess it is a language I should be starting to learn.

       

      Thanks Again!

      Sorry about your diagnosis- I was also just diagnosed last week and was able to obtain my report by going to the dermatologists office and filling out some paperwork.  It did help put my mind at ease to see all the information we had in front of me.  My first appointment is next week so I can't help you out there but I there is a list of questions on this website http://www.melanoma.org/learn-more/melanoma-101/preparing-your-melanoma-doctors-visit

      Hope that helps!
