      Monday morning call your family doctor tell her you are coming my to pick up your pathology report. Then call your hospital or one who has a surgical oncologist. This is there specialty. Get an appointment for a consult and do what they say. This is there area of knowledge. My husband has stage 3 melanoma only because after diagnosis of stage 2 a from first pathology report. I took him to surgical oncologist he did wide excision around mole site on his side and a sentinal node biopsy where she took out 3 nodes. When they were tested only one had melanoma. That increased him to stage 3. There is a wide range on stage 3. Then today we had a complete lymph node dissection of his right underarm. He is up moving around doing good. We go back 8-14-14 for that pathology report. BEST THINK I DID WAS AS SOON AS WE WERE TOLD I GOT PRAY CHAIN STARTED. THEY WORK AND GIVE YOU THE GRACE TO GO THROUGH IT.
      Hope this helps
