      Hi,

      It took 2 weeks for me to hear about my first melanoma in situ and after looking at the lab report, I think it took them a little extra time because they had to verify some things with my derm and also get a seperate consulatation on the results.

      My second melanoma in situ results came back in a week.

      Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

      Hi Deb,

      Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have been taking a vitamin D supplement for about a year as I found last year that my levels were on the low side. I only have one sibling and told him about my melanoma. He has very few moles, which is great for him, so has far fewer to keep track of. I'm counting on me and my husband as the team for monthly checking!

      Best, Gail
