      So I posted a while ago with my story of being diagnosed stage 1b. Long story short, I went to the dermatologist on March 28, she took off a mole with shave biopsy and diagnosed me stage 1b: 0.92 mm Breslow thickness, mitosis rate less than 1. 

      had my WLE and SLNB on Monday and the surgeon just called with the pathology results: WLE produced clear margins and no cancer was found in the lymph node. 

      Thank you all SO much for the prayers and positive thoughts and encouragement. It helped me get through the uncertainty. 

      Now just to concentrate on healing from the surgery and stay vigilant and pay attention to my body!
