Hi,

I am so sorry you guys are going through this.  I first spotted my mole while pregnant as well.  Unlike your wife I waited until 4 months after I delivered to have it checked out.  Stupid I know but at the time I really did not think about it.  It was 1.0 mm and clarks level 4 partial regression and no mitoses. This put me at a stage 2.  They did the WLE and the SNB at the same time for me.  All came back clear which was great news!  Now I am seeing an oncologist and he is recommending I go on Interferon treatments for a year.  This week I will be seeing a Melanoma specialist to get a second opinion.  I am also scheduled for a PET scan this week.  I am praying for good news.   

On a side note it seems that pregnancy and Melanoma have some link…  

I know how scary this is.  My baby is 6 month old now and it seems so unfair.  Please keep us posted on how she is doing and when your child is born.

I too found a mole on my back while pregnant.  I was not as smart as your wife and did not have it looked at until Oct of this year.  I had my baby girl in May so I let it ride for a few months.  I am stage 2 clarks level 4.  I am not sure what the treatment plan will be for your wife but know that it will be ok!  When I first recieved the diagnoses I could not believe it.  I had a 4 month old…  It has been a month now.  I had the SNB and the WLE.  IT did not spread!  I will be taking interferon for a year but all in all the outlook is good.  I know how scared you are!  Everyone is correct GET THE FACTS.  No what you are dealing with.  I will be praying for you and your family.  Please keep is updated.
