      thank you Janner!!!

      His first appointment on 12/26/14 – he went in to have them look at something that was bothering him and when I saw it – it was how I described previously – just scary looking, red/black/white and ulcerated (looked like puss or something coming from it) and not as big as a quarter.

      So he went to the appointment alone – and when he got home he had 8 stitches and said they were sending it in to get looked at. Today he got the stitches removed and was told it was melanoma and that the doctor had taken deeper area than the growth but that he thinks he got it all and nothing further needs to be done.

      So I am going to see if I can get a hold of the biopsy report and see what it says about the markers. Thanks for the info and i'll keep everyone informed!!!

       

      thanks again!!! I super appreciate it!
