Thank you for the reply. No I did not specify I was worried about melanoma. I just indicated I was going to use the test as like a screening for early detection. I had planned on it coming back negative and thought I could re-test every 5 years or something so that if ever came back positive I would at least be catching cancer on the earlier side.  I  got the test because I had read about it from a doctor I follow.  Just thought it would be a good thing given the fact melanoma runs in my family.   I think the reason most people n doctors don't do it is because it can catch cancer so early, before you have symptoms or even before a MRI or something could detect the tumour, that when you have a positive result then you really don't know where to go from there.  Hence the situation I am kind of in besides I have the past atypical spitz Nevus/ spitzoid melanoma that I am not afraid has been there every since 2008 and could possibly be spreading.
