      I have not seen the path report just what she said the dr said and no she went in to a gp dr for something else and ask while she was there about the spot on her arm which had changed in color and size the dr did not "like the looks" so she removed it and sent it for path resultes Im sorry I have not got enough info to know what I'm talking about but if it was a Clark not stage I would guess that is good I will ask her more about it but I know the dr is sending her to a "regular" derm doc so I guress I need to wait for that? then talk to her about melanoma specialist? thank you so much I find the boards to be very helpful when I was dx with PBC last year it was a life saver to talk to people who knew what I was going through happyly I am in remission as of June 2012!  I will call her and see if she can tell me anything more and then I will be back…thanks again!
