        M,
        Thank you for your reply. I read the posting on sole bed and am so sorry to hear of that difficult decision.
        We have to be our own advocates and there are so many times we struggle with information that is medically complex and often difficult to understand.
        Thinking of all people dealing with this struggle.

          I am attempting to reply, but having difficulty as I am new to this forum. In any case had a biopsy yesterday on my big toe left foot for probable melanoma. It is rare in caucasian people. I have never been one to follow any typical type of diagnosis! Had a malignant melanoma on right thigh 40 years ago and have been melanoma free until this recent occurrence of a vertical brown stripe on big toe. No clue how long its been there as most folks don’t spend a lot of time looking at toes. At least I don’t. In any case its extremely rare and there is a good chance you will be OK, but get it checked out. My doctor is very sure it is melanoma, but was using words we all want to hear “in-situ. I’ll keep you updated.
