        So far I have just been working with a surgical oncologist.  She just shared the most recent research.  I meet with the melanoma specialist tomorrow so I am thankful I will be armed with so many questions and I hope to gain enough information to make a good choice for me.

          Thank you, I appreciate your perspective and all of this helps me formulate questions to ask to make the most informed decisions for me in my situation.

            Thank you Celeste.  I will probably have to read and reread to help it all make sense.  I appreciate the visuals too. I searched for melanoma specialists and thankfully the doctor that I am scheduled to see tomorrow did show up (only one for the hospital).  Two hours away there is a hospital that has three on staff. So I feel I have some options.

              Thank you so much!  You are right in that there is so much to digest and take in.  I appreciate the heads up about your treatment experience and I will keep all of this in mind as I go to my appointment with doctor about immunotherapy.   Hoping the MRI and PET scans I have today and tomorrow show that the questionable sights are just my body being atypical and not spreading of the cancer.
