      Thanks for your reply.

      My pathology report notes that there is evidence of regression. 

      And that the derman component is surrounded by a dense lymphcytic inflammatory inflitrate.

      If I understand correctly, this regression means they don't know how thick the melanoma initially was, which makes staging more difficult.

      I have an appointment on Wednesday afternoon, so will ask them then and see if I can get more answers.

      Hi Anonymous,

       

      Thanks for your comment..

       

      I have an 8 week old baby, so it was a huge shock. The doctor gave me 92% for 5 year survival. And called it Stage 2 on Australian melanoma staging system. 

      I'll try and find out more information at my appointment in 2 weeks time.

       

      Best,
