        Thank you! My general practitioner has ordered an MRI with contrast of the area and if it comes back worrisome they will send everything to my oncologist.
        I’ve noticed another lump on my arm now that I did not notice before. This one is sore so now I’m curious what’s going on. Still waiting for the radiologist to call to schedule the MRI and getting impatient!

            Thank you very much! That is about what I was assuming based on the small amount of reading I’ve done based on my results. Would you recommend questioning my dermotologist about the vertical growth assessment or just wait and speak to the oncologist?
