      Thank you Jenner!

           You just removed the knot from my stomach.  We will get the report, have the excision and pray for the most excellent outcome.  Knowlege is so important.  What really is hard is that the Dr's office just calls and says "you have a malignant melanoma" without any offer of what that means, etc.  My husband (the patient) just had  his knee replaced, so this is really weird, but maybe that is why he noticed it.  We just hope that the WLE does not effect the knee prosthesis, but what ever.  Anyway, thank you again for your kind reply.
