  Hello! I have been reading the comments from this post, as I have been wondering same with pregnancy and melanoma. I had a thin melanoma during my second child and a year later had another melanoma that was not biopsied until late. My PA (derm) wanted to monitor the mole, 5 months later it was stage 3a. One lymphnode effected and had a total of 9 removed. I was told to wait 2 years. I got a second opinion from MDAnderson which informed me to wait two years, but my oncologist at Roswell said, if melanoma will come back, it will come back. pregnant or not.
  
  Anyone else go through with their pregnancy after their diagnosis?
  
  Thank you so much for any response.
