Eeek that is my recurring nightmare. When I had my second mohs on the nose the doc had a picture of a man without a nose and one with a prostetic nose in the procedure room.

Did they do a skin graft on you? Hope you feel and look better soon. 🙂

I kept looking for the sarcasm in your post and when I realized there was none, it hit me that the world really is going to end in 2012.

Seriously, I'm happy to see you're still alive and  able to appreciate the things that really matter. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

So you're not fun to be around 24/7? Shocking!

Hi karolina,

Nodular melanoma is considered the most aggressive type of MM, however the treatment protocols are still based on breslow thickness(measured in millimeters) and Clarks level ( how many layers of skin the lesion has penetrated) just like any other type of Melanoma. If the initial lesion was 200 mm deep (that sounds fishy, a dermatopathologist would call it 20 centimeters)  and that would be almost 8 inches depth penetration. Unlikely.

Your friend should ask her doctor for a copy of the pathology report of both the intial lesion and of the biopsy done on the secondary growth.Ask for Breslow thickness, were clear margins obtained? Then she or you can post that information on the main board where you will get a lot more feed back than here on the off topic forum.

I had a nodular melanoma in 2002, Breslow .4 mm and clarks level 2. It was removed via wide local excission (WLE) with 1 centimeter clear margins. I'm alive and well with no evidence of disease.

Aloha

wow Lisa sounds like a lot of fun! Congrats on the amazing weight loss, what's your secret?

Ahh the good old days, I miss it too. I think people bond more when they can talk about anything else besides cancer. even arguing was better than this.

On that note, what the F is up with DC politicians and this debt ceiling crapola? Oh and the tea party's Bachman? Why is it republicans like their women candidates to be attractive but so stupid?
