          Hi Fen –

           

          You're right – I am "still taking it in and figuring out what the heck to do" –  I forgot to mention that I had a chest xray last month and a sonogram of my liver, kidneys, pancreas – and all were normal   So I should probably chill out with regards to getting my CT scan results tomorrow – but I CANT HELP WORRYING!  I'm sorry, but this SUCKS!

            Shady Grady – Thank you for your comments – I think I found the right "place" to be FINALLY……  I think you're right – I will be taking a more aggressive approach with these doctors.  Wish I could have gotten my CT results right away as well – since I went on Saturday I haven't slept very well  – the surgeon prescribed Lorazepam which doesn't do much for me – is that the same as Avitan?

              Wow, Charlie thank you for your insight – EXTREMELY helpful  –  I am most appreciative…..

               

              You asked about the path report – it says:

               

              Melanom left upper back 1.25 mm clark level

               

              1. Non-uclerated with a tumor mitotic

              2.  Rate of <1 MIT.MM2

              Mid back – compound melanocytic nevus

               

              I have no idea what that means, it just sounds UGLY

               

              I'm glad you took the time to share your thoughts and experience – thank you so much again!!
