      Question: does "no microscopic sattelites were seen and no lymphatic invasion" mea that it's less likely that there is a rogue cell on it's way throughout my body?

       

      Also, does the "melanocytes are extending very close" necessarily mean they didn't get it all, or just that there isn't SUFFICIENT clean margin seen?

      When you DO get clean margins, are you "cured" pending recurrence?

      thanks so much for your help!
