        Thank you Melissa!! I hope your results from your biopsy come out negative. My first full body scan will be December 19th. My results from WLE and SNLB came back negative thank goodness. I had my post operative appt. today and I am just so relieved but still very anxious and emotional from the whole ordeal. My wound is heaing very well and I don't care about the scars AT ALL! I am sending you all good thoughts and positive energy for your good results :0) Please let me know how it went. I will try to check back here periodically.  Best Wishes, Marion

          So happy for you!! Congratulations! Mine was 2.0mm deep and had a Mitotic rate of 2…I just had my post operative appt. this morning and it was nice to feel like I can be in control of my life again…Now I have to learn to manage the anxiety that now comes with being confident enough to still "live my life" without constantly worrying about the sun exposure…and it returning..Dr says with time that mental worry will go away. Takes time….

            Hello Jetdoctor67

            I received my results last night and all came back negative! Whew…I cried all the stress and anxiety from the past month all out at once…so emotional, but enormously relieved!! I hope you will have a good outcome as well!! You certainly have the right attitude towards it all!!
