Hi Charlie, 

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment here and offer your invaluable opinion – especially when you are going through so much!

I truly want to believe what you say as I was diagnosed with in situ last month on my neck. I really struggle to reconcile the huge differences of opinion with in situ. On one hand, there is the opinion that it is not melanoma and on the other, there are opinions and stories that scare the heck out of me! 

If in situ isn't melanoma, do I still have to live in the same fear of a recuurance or another primary? Are my children at a higher risk? While I have changed my sun habits and will do monthly self checks, do I need to be seen every 3-6 months by my derm for full body checks?

Thank you!

Jenn, thanks for your words of wisdom – I try to cling to these and the words of others on here – just having a hard time believing my melanoma journey is really over. Thank you again and my prayers are for all of you on this amazingly helpful forum.
