      So even tho I struggle with being tired I’m still trying to make it to the gym a few times a week, especially now that I’m off for a bit. And stretching for my upcoming back workout I feel the muscle under where my biopsy was taken is sore.. not necessarily the entire muscle (my left lat) but just underneath the area. Not thinking I slept wrong, I generally sleep on my stomach. It only hurts twisting so Im just going to limit any exercises that involve that and see how it plays out the next couple days I think.

      Anyway have a great and safe new year

      thanks for reading

          Now that your insurance has kicked in, I really  hope that you get a quick appointment with a melanoma m.d. who Specializes in surgery so that you can get the Wide Local Excision. And possibly a Sentinel Node harvest too.   Also, it would be really good if you just told those nurses at the doctors office that you are going to come and pick up a copy of your pathology report and to have it ready for you when you get there.  Then if you post it here, you will get more input about what you are looking at with your particular melanoma.  Good Luck and Best Wishes for you in 2014.

              I do have an appointment set up but its just with a primary.. I never even had that. Idlk if that’s the route to go cause I’m in another world when it comes to this medical and insurance stuff. So that would explain this question.. can I do that, just ask and get my report? Should or even can I ask for the test results from my er trips for this new Dr?

              Thank you I hope for a good new year for you as well and thank you for the input

                  Yes, you can ask for copies of all your medical reports.  Most are given with no issues.  Legally, you could be charged a small processing fee but that rarely happens.  I keep all records I can so I have them when/if I see a new or different doc.  Also, I just like to feel I have some control and knowledge about my health and  having my own medical file does that for me.
