      the initial mole was misdiagnosed. My melanoma oncologist says it is highly likely it was misdaignosed. The slides have been sent out for further evaluation.

      I had a dark mole taken off in January that came back as benign. Over the next several months a red bump started to grow in the place the mole was removed. In the end it was red, bumpy and ittchy. It looked alot like basil cell and nothing like melanoma.

      Thank you both for your reply. Good advice. I am lucky to have found the melanoma oncologist in my area who is involved in all of the clinical trials available. Feeling like I am in expert hands has helped me so much. Now I just wait until I have more information. You all know how hard that is. I am with a plastic surgeon who also works hand in hand with my oncologist and is very familiar with all this. I will keep you posted. Already I feel like I have conneced with people who get it in a way no one else can.
