          You want to find a melanoma center/ specialist near your location.

          http://www.melanomacare.org/centers.shtml

          Here is a paper called Just Diagnosed. It will help you to begin to understand this disease and treatment.

          If you have any more question, just post them. You should get some different opinions.

                                                Clark's Level II is the level of skin invaded.  It is NOT the same as stage (although they are often confused by the newly diagnosed).  You are most likely stage I, not stage II given .18mm Breslow and Clark's Level II.  If that is truly your "stats", then you are definitely stage I and have a very favorable prognosis.  You need to get a copy of your pathology report.  If you post it here, we can help you interpret it.

                                                Best wishes,
