      Hi, Debbie! It would be nice to get some oldies back in the chat room some time. Nice to hear you are still doing well!

      Tia — With mostly good prognostic factors like a thin lesion and extremity location, the odds are definitely in your favor that this is a false alarm. I'm stage 1B also and I've had a few scares, such as when the doc called to tell me "nodules" were seen on my chest x-ray. I had a CT and it turned out to be nothing. But I was quite scared, just as you are now. Let's face it, melanoma is scary. I'm betting your CT will be clean.

      I'm glad you posted, Jan. I just realized that I missed a call from Bob last night asking me to post. Dian certainly was a great friend and great source of support and information for many on this site and the melanoma community. I didn't think she would ever leave us. One of the saddest losses we have had.

      "Brisk TILs in the melanoma vertical growth phase is a strong, albeit not independent, prognostic factor associated with superior survival."

      Or so says these guys — http://www.discoverymedicine.com/Alan-Spatz/2010/07/27/the-biology-of-melanoma-prognostic-factors/
