        There's a caregiver forum on Melanoma International.org.  There are also forums for different stages of melanoma.  It's very hard to be the caregiver/spouse.  My husband has been fighting melanoma for 2 & 1/2 years, and is now home on hospice.  You'll find a lot of support on their website.  Good luck.

              I don't know from personal experience, but I've heard that's a good sign.  Good luck!

                          My husband had nodular melanoma on his right upper arm.  It started out as a purple/black bump, pea-sized, then cranberry, then grape, until it was a huge plum-sized lump on a stalk.  All within about 6 months.  So doesn't sound like yours at all.  Hope you get the results soon, and best of luck!

                                Wow – that is an incredible story.  Do either you or your sister have children?  I would want them to see a dermatologist now!  I've heard of familial melanoma – sounds like you are a classic case.  Best of luck to you all!
