        Hi Amanda,

        I can understand your feeling totally. I just knew the bad result two days ago and can’t sleep, eat, do anything. It’s easier to say to be brave, but it’s hard to do.I’m pregnant now with 25 weeks, it’s another hard time for me. I can’t imagine the life without my 5 years old boy and my husband. So scared about everything. Hope we are all fine and get a better treatment result!

            Hi Amanda,
            Thanks for your reply. Could you mind to share with me something in your report, just like thickness, mitotic rate, vascular invasion status…I’m waiting for my appointment in next week and so anxiety for it…

              Hi, Amanda
              Thanks for your reply. Your words make me feel better. I’m still trying my best to overcome this darkest moment in my life. I’m glad you are in the very early stage and hope my situation is not bad too. I know I should focus on the life and my family now but it’s hard not to think about the future. Read all the posts here gives me some courage. I will pray for everyone will win this fight in the last.Thanks again!

                Thanks so much for your reply, Cindy. I also pray for my stage is I. I don’t know if my report result now can predict a little bit good sign.( no invasion and no ulceration, not very high mitotic rate) And I’m worry about if it will spread very quickly during the waiting time. Particularly I’m pregnant,everything is unknown. I told myself I should be a brave mom, but it’s hard to control the bad thoughts. So sad…

                  Thanks for your reply. I’m so anxiety to think about spreading…I’m in Houston, so I will go to MD Anderson for a specialist. Waiting time is so hard. A lot of bad thoughts in my head that I can’t control it. Can I have another question, does insurance company will cover the fee of exam, surgery and medication, I think it should be very expensive journey…

                    Thanks for your reply. I’m so anxiety since I just got this bad news two days ago. Every time I saw my little boy, I can’t help to cry. I love my family so much.

                      Here is my report. I have to type it for short.
                      Thick:at least 1.2mm
                      Ulceration: no
                      Mitotic index: 1/mm2
                      margins,peripheral and deep: both involved
                      vascular invasion:absent
                      perineural invasion:absent
                      regression:absent
                      stage:at least pT2a

                      I have this mole in my stomach over 5 years. Never changed and feel nothing. I don’t know if it is spreading or something else. I can’t imagine to leave my kids alone.So scared…

                        Hi Amanda,

                        Another question is about stage 1A, it’s only about the thickness? Thanks.

                          Hi, Ashley
                          My story is similar with you. I found a mole appeared in my belly when my first pregnancy, but didn’t think it’s a problem. Until now, several weeks ago, I went to check it by accidently, and biopsy told me it’s melanoma. The worst thing is I’m pregnant with 25 weeks. I can’t believe it, so shocked and I don’t know what to do. My first baby is only 5 years old. I cried a lot of times. It’s the darkest time in my life. You don’t do anything during your pregnancy, why? I am waiting for the specialist appointment and don’t know what the next step is. So scared.
