        Thanks for the support guys, I have contacted them for further information, and they gave me some. They are sending me my pathology report via mail. They said I have encapsulated melignant melanoma. They said it is rare but they wont be one hundred percent until they get in there. They believe they will get it all. They also believe my underarm pain is a result of an infection from the biopsy. It is on such a tight spot of skin, especially being top heavy it pulls and tears at the scabbed area. It is just starting to heal. I am a bit nervous because the derm is a bit disorganized and cold. He also assumed I had  a full body check which I did not.  I tried to get them to do it pre surgery ( I have tons of moles ect) so they can get most of what they needed done then.  I may look for another derm afterwards that is less likely to mix things up, and less hurried to rush people out. They scared me with the first phone call- told me I had melanoma and when I was to have it removed and hung right up. I am a worrier to began with. You guys were kind and considerate, where family and friends had a difficult time understanding, I could come here. Thank you.
