Thank you so much Carver, your story is very encouraging!  In fact everything I'm reading here makes me very hopeful and positive. 

Thank you so much Niki and I'm so happy your husband is doing well.  I think I will be a lucky one too. I hope so anyway 🙂

Thank you Dian and Kevin and everybody.  I saw the surgeon today and it's exactly what you say.  I will have a WLE (whole new language, isn't it? 🙂 and he'll do the SNB too.  (I'll have some cool new scars to add to my collection.)  Then we take it from there.  I also have to have a chest x-ray, blood work, and other stuff that I can't remember right now because my head is spinning a bit.  But it's a great relief to have a course of action! 

I recorded the whole visit (with my doctor's permission of course) so I can go over it again and take some notes.  But I guess this will all happen in the next couple of weeks. 

I asked the doctor how much time I could take off from work and he said "as much as you want".  So there are some plus sides to all this. 

Thank you Tim, do you happen to know the names of those doctors at Yale?  Might be good to see them for a second opinion as you suggest. Thanks!!

Thank you very much, Katy, I will.

Thank you very much, Katy, I will.

Thank you for answering, Vicki.  With all the views and no answers I was beginning to think the worst. lol  I am seeing Dr. Deepak Narayan at Yale-New Haven Hospital and he is a surgeon who specializes in melanoma.  We'll see what he says.  I know surgery is a given just not too sure what happens after that.
