      Yep, I’m in the same boat here in Canada. Had to fight for my biopsy. I knew something wasn’t right and sure enough it was melanoma. I have gotten all of my questions answered and information given on similar forums to this. My dermatologist was useless and the plastic surgeon is just that. Thankfully I see a melanoma specialist on the 9th of May. Hopefully he is more helpful. I sure feel alone on this one. My family and friends all think melanoma is no big deal. “Just cut it off” sigh…. Meanwhile I’m faking calmness with my husband and fiends that do understand how serious it is. I feel like these groups are the only place I can be honest and say that I am honestly terrified.
