        Thanks everyone for your responses and help. You gave me a lot to think about. We are glad that we caught it early and hope that it hasn’t spread. We would have NEVER thought to go to the dermatologist (my husband is Hispanic and has no known family history) except for the fact that I had a coworker mention to me that she had a stage 1 a few years ago in casual conversation. That conversation very likely saved his life….so please don’t keep your concerns on the Internet. Tell everyone the importance of getting checked because you never know who is listening!

        We are still worried (a weekend of google can do that to you), but are hopeful that it has not and will never spread. I’ll keep you all posted and thanks again.
