        Hi everyone,

        Thanks for your support, well wishes and prayers. This was a little win against the melanoma battle. I'm getting ready for the war and to someday be NED and be able to enjoy again the wonder of life and love.

        Happy New Year everyone… Love Juan

                                Mine is a scary story… it was actualy at the base of my thumbnail, it was a small growth and colorless. My nail began growing out abnormaly, at that point a biopsy was performed and the result was 'no melanoma'. So, one with my happy life. The nail continued to grow out oddly and over the course of a year I went to a few other dermatologist only to have them read the original pathology report and tell me it was nothing of major concern. Almost to the day one year later, I went to my last dermo, he looked at my nail and he didn't like what he saw. He did a shave biopsy right then and a few days later, Melanoma. The original lab, which is one of the best labs in the country, went back to the first biopsy and found that the original had melanoma also. So, the long winded answer to your question is it took a little over a year to dignose my Melanoma.
