Follow-up, and thanks for your help. It turns out I have Superficial spreading malignant melanoma stage 1a from the biopsy. I had a wide excision today ans expect to have the path report next week.
Where the site biopsy was taken, the site ulcerated. I'm curious and concerned about this.
Thanks

I bought one of his other reports for a different cancer. I am a researcher, and I found his report to be very valuable. There is no one fits all cure. He discusses the reality and many options that are available in the US and elsewhere to treat and stave off recurrences of cancers. I was already partaking or interested in several things he wrote of in his report. I felt that in a way it was a second opinion. Not an opinion from an MD who has reviewed my case, but an opinion to support those I found on my own or received from a naturopath. I ended up going to the Block Center in Skokie IL for treatment. The Block center uses conventional and additional thearpies as well.

Of course, I'm so glad you mentioned the pathology. Should I keep my appointment with the Plastic Surgeon I'll make sure the lesions are sent outside, probably to the local NCCN hospital. I know how important pathology services are as the cancer I just treated has had two very different path reports…actually three, two with a favorable prognosis 🙂
My PCP made the referrel to this plastic surgeon in part because he is availalbe and due to the overall size of the mole area. I am 59, the moles are on my upper arm, and I really don't care what it looks like after the removal.

Thanks Jerry. Your reply was VERY helpful. So only after pathology has a look will they go back to make sure the margins are clean. I think you are saying that an inital biopsy should also be removal of the mole.
If if is melanoma, then would I benefit from a specialist?
The area in question is larger than I recall when I first noticed it a few years ago. There are two brown/black moles, perhaps 1.5" apart. And now there is a salmon colored area in the gap and below. Is it likely the Dr would want to remove this large area in the office, same day? I am asking because it would be easier for me to have a sore arm the following week.
Thanks
