        Hi,  I have been 1b for 9 yrs.  I had l.00 with clark level 4, nodes clear.  I was very worried also, mine was a desmoplastic melanoma, very uncommon no color to it at all just a little puffy skin, found it on my left forearm myself.  My Mother and Sister both had one same place, I also found theirs before mine.  As time goes by I don't realy think about it anymore, although I see Derm every 2 mos, because I have had many other skin cancers not melanoma always being biopsied.  Hang in there and try to live a normal life, worry is not good.  Best Wishes,  Sandy
