      Hello all. My melanoma seems to be kicking up recently, and I’m scheduled to meet with him again on the 26th to discuss next steps (in the meantime, he’s supposed to be requesting BRAF testing on my tumors, finding out what I was really getting in the blind trial, and … coming up with a plan). I think my current doc is a smart guy, I like him personally, I think he’s concerned with my health, and the hospital (Abbott in Mpls) is relatively convenient, but … I don’t think he’s really a melanoma specialist. I recently called Mayo Rochester to ask if they were in-network for my insurance, and I was told that they were. I’m going to hear what my onc doc has to say on the 26th and I’m inclined to stick with him, but I’m also checking out other options. Wondering if anyone has a recommendations for melanoma specialists, either at Mayo or at another Twin Cities area hospital. Can either post here or send me a PM (this forum supports private messages, doesn’t it? Haven’t even checked). Thanks in advance.
