        I accidentally found your post, and realized you just wrote it a couple of days ago, even though the origins of this thread are several years old. My 2 year old  was diagnosed with Spitzoid Melanoma three weeks before her second birthday (September 2017). She had the surgery to remove more tissue and do the lymph node biopsy. She was stage II because it had not spread to her lymph nodes. So, now we just watch her very carefully and follow up with all sorts of different doctors. It's a scary diagnosis, but here we are, only 5 months later and feel so much better about everything. Best of luck to you!!
