Hi,Each day I learn more and more about this creepy melanoma. I was very hung up on the words like invasive and such. I have learned that tumor thickness and the presence or absence of ulceration is vital in making a treatment plan. My primary tumor was not ulcerated, so I guess I’m an A and not a B. How do I find out about the meitotic rate numbers? Mine was a 4 and I don’t know where that stacks up in the scheme of things. I have some minor control issues, as you may have guessed. I try very hard to be a well educated partner in my healthcare and I’m just frustrated at how hard it is to gleen information from the different journals and forums. I so hope I get an active oncologist.
Thank you for listening and replying. It is greatly appreciated.

Alicia,Thank you so much for the reply. I took a moment to peek at your blog too. I know I will go there often for support. I’m scared and lost right now because I know I’ve begun a very long battle. I haven’t had my total body check yet since I’m still in a cast from the WLE and skin graft. I do know that I have a few gazillion moles that will need attention. I’m glad for a place like this where I can go for support. God Bless you and your family and thank you again for reaching out to me.
