        I am assuming the primary means how deep the lesion is? 🙂 The local Dermatologist thought it to be 1.6mm at least. He has had it for about a year and a half.

              Uofsf just confirmed again today that it is malignant melanoma. The fish test said that no genetics are involved. Dr. Andtabackca said there was no swelling of his lymph nodes and from what he could tell there was no sign that it had spread just from looking at him. I hope he is right on that note! He is going to do the sentinel node test and then remove his tissue all on August 5th. This has been pretty hard to wait to know some more answers. Thank you for the link, I just looked it up and there was great information. Any other good links out there? I feel likei do not know very much and I would like to learn all I can. Would you recommend Dr. ANDTABACKCA? I want the best Dr. Of course. Should I ask him for a second opinion?
