Thank you for replying! 

As for the fingernail, I THINK it appears wider than say, last year…  Definitely wider than the first go around from years ago.  As far as darker skinned, well, he definitely has deep skin tones with his czech heritage 🙂

I really appreciate your detailed reply as it gives us some prespective, and questions to ask at the next appointment which will include not only the surgeon, but the plastic surgery team.

Sincerely,

Vicki

Thank you for your reply…

These are the questions I directly asked the specialist:

1.  Since the biopsy was shaved and you could not measure the original depth of the site, how secure are you that Victor's melanoma is not more of a threat?

2.  I know that you did a physical test on his lymph nodes.  How do you determine when to do more testing to see if the lymph nodes have indeed, been affected?  And, what tests would this be? 

3.  Dr. **** has not done a full body search.  He has mainly only dealt with those either pointed out, or in the upper torso and head section.  Would not a more thorough exam be in order?

4.  In the (hopefully UNLIKELY) event that a more systemic diagnose were to be reached…would you still be THE doctor to manage my husband's care?

Thank you,
