Hi, i am Panda, the person who posted this original message. OK. i went to the doctors and got mydiagnosis again, and here it is can SOMEONE pls tell me if ths is not very good. So many people i am reading, once they have had a melonama cut out, keep going back for tests and getting checks for lumps, mole changes etc which is logical. but can someone tell me IS STAGE II very bad???? i really dont know…. Is it the one that is half way to STAGE FOUR? my father passed away last year from stage Four… He had a melanoma removed two years earlier, it came back got into spine and he passed away. it was terrible. He was adopted and knows not about his family history, so i want and got checked and found out i hve this. can someone tell me how REGULARLY I SHOULD HAVE CHECK UPS PLS? and WHAT i shoudl get done AT THESE CHECK UPS? l have only been back for check up once since it was removed from my back with a two cm margin, and all they did was look at my moles and say everything looks ok and do i want a mole map

I AM going to get a mole map , are mole maps good?

here is my diagnosis

Skin Lesion right back, appearance consistent with early invasive malignant melanoma, arising from a dysplastic naevus, BRESLOW thickness zero point twenty five mm clark level II, no perineural or lymphovascular invasion. nearest superior resection margin to invasive component, 3 point six mm and to dysplastic nerves 1.1 mm, distance from tumour to deep margin 4.4 mm wider excision recommended.

I had this removed.

WHAT NEXT, can someone tell me what they think of this diagnosis. are things looking ok for me, or is this a NEVER ENDING THING, that you just have to keep checking your body forever and ever. to make sure you are not getting more.

Sounds really depressing

Thankyou. pls can someone tell me. thanks

Dear Janner, thankyou very much, i only just saw your reply to me now. AFTER i posted what i just posted then.. Thankyou, yes i was getting confused with LEVEL II and clarks level II as some peoples Level II sound quite bad, nowhere near as bad as i am. but i WAS told by the skin specialist that i am lucky it was caught at a very good time.  Thankyou for taking the time to reply to me and i will try and find this link you are talking about ok. thankyou. from Felicity.
