Hey,
I'll try to find the study that I referred to. I came upon it quite by accident. If I find it I'll e-mail it to you. The reason I mentioned the other topics I asked the doctor, was to dispel your original notion that I want the doctor to tell me I'm going to be "alright"

Janner,
Thanks again for your insight. In my defense though I was asking the doctor why I couldn't have the test to see if i was BRAF positive, I asked about a study that my Doctor had participated in that stated that 30% of men with melanomas of .5 mm or less had metastasis within 10 yrs, The doctor gave me the stats of 92% survival for 1B which I knew already. I'd love the doctor to tell me everythings going to be fine of course but when I'm in the doctors office I ask alot of questions pertaining to treatment etc etc. I'm hardly looking for anyone to sugarcoat anything. You yourself said you had to be your best advocate and that's what I'm doing. 12 years ago I took off 9 months to care for my 2 parents who died 3 months apart,. so I was in and out of hospitals constantly dealing with doctors and staff. What I found was that alot of doctors give you just enough info that they're comfortable with. You have to ask questions, that's just me. Thanks again for your insight.

Hey,
Saw you're running a 5k,,great news. Just to give you some encouragement, I ran 8 miles with the stitches still in after my SNB, this was probably oh 4 days after the surgery. I just made sure the stitches weren.t going to get aggravated by the movement but I was cool, it was a breeze. The doctors probably gave me the same advice but hey, felt good. I was training for the philly marathon,so i was going for it. Just go on how youi feel and kick ass in the 5k.
