      My husband was told last week following a shave biopsy that he has a MM with Clark’s level 4 and Breslow is 3.3mm with mitotic rate of 20. The mole came up rapidly on his tragus and was sticking up quite a bit. We met with the ENT, oncologist yesterday and she said a shaved biopsy doesn’t show the depth of the  MM only how thick it was and she did a punch biopsy and we go back Monday. My husband and I are both 30 and have four kids. This has came as a complete shock and we are scared to death.
