Thank you everyone for your kind words. So last week, Chris went to U of M in Ann Arbor to get some skin  taken off around where his mole was. It turns out he didn't even have stage II. He apparently didn't listen very well when the doctor was talking to him. When he got to Ann Arbor, they told him that they downgraded his melanoma to just abnormal cells. It wasn't even melanoma anymore. They still had to cut skin off though and now he has stitches on the middle of his chest. It's healing just fine though. His primary doctor didn't even say he had stage II melanoma, so i don't know where he got that from. I guess the main part is that he's okay. 😉 They also tested the skin they removed and it came back clear. 😉 I'm very thankful for him right now. 😉 God bless everyone and I will never take the sun for granted again.

Thanks Janner,

Yeah he's scheduled for surgery and his doctor said he's going to get put to sleep and have more skin taken off that was around where his mole was. He originally had the mole taken off when he went in for a regular check up. But since the doctor just said it was a 2, he needed to see a specialist so that's why he's going to u of m in arr arbor, mi. So from what everyone is saying, that surgery on the 29th will be a piece of cake?

Actually i'm not sure if it's a stage two or level two. ;-( The doctor just called him and said it was a two and that we caught it early, but he didn't really give any more information. I think all Chris heard was the word cancer and melanoma. He's just nervous and so am i since we don't know what to expect. I told him to call his doctor to get that pathology report and know exactly what he said on the phone. So when he goes in for surgery and has the exision done, how long does that take and can he go home the same day? I will definately post more info about what he has as soon as find out. Thanks everyone for your replies.
