        Hope everything came back fine on your lymph node.  I just got diagnosed with a recurrence of a 2.15 mm melanoma of the scalp (or possible in-transit metastasis) five years after having a WLE for my first occurrence. In both instances there was no epidermal component so not sure where the primary is or was.  I will have another WLE, bigger this time, and will have a full-thickness skin graft from my upper chest/neck area. Since I am mostly bald I am hoping for an acceptable cosmetic result…
