      Thank you all so much.  This is all very overwhelming, and it helps so much to hear from you all who have been through it. Thank you for your compassion and kindness.  He is leaning toward the watch/wait/ultrasound route. I will post an update when he decides. I'm sure we will have more questions as we navigate through this.

      Thanks Hazel.  I will check your post. And if I can get him to show me the pathology report, I will gladly share more details. It's frustrating.

      Thank you all so much for the warm welcome and advice. This is just so hard to process, still reeling. 

      I was ready to ask him to change to Providence, but he seems ok with his derm's referral. I did some research on her background and she has great credentials and reviews. And Megan, she coauthored a study on the effects of vigor – energy and optimism- and found it to help recovery. So I will keep my thoughts positive as well and try not worry so much. Try try try. 

      So…. deep breath. Surgery is in 2 weeks – postponed until after spring break family vacation. I will post an update then. In the meantime, keeping you in my prayers. 

      Many thanks,
