      I was looking for advice last week and I was feeling better after I went to see my doctor. He had sent my biopsy out for second opinion and I was having a hard time with the waiting. I went to see him last Thursday and he said that if he were to diagnosis he would say pre melanoma but take out enough to cover a melanoma in situ. He wants to be sure. I was ok with the worst case scenario ..but the results were suppose to get back by Monday. .I called yesterday and no answer..now I am concerned. .I know it went to harvard last wed….maybe just patience..not doing very well…

          Don't read anything into the time period.  Your lesion most likely comes after all in house stuff.  You'll know when it is complete.  Until then, try to relax.  As bad as this feels to you, surgical removal (no matter what the end diagnosis is) will be all you need.
