        I was recently diagnosed with early Melanoma in situ as well. It's scary, I understand the emotions. The great news as my derm told me is you caught it at the earliest possible stage. And even better it is evolving / early! Now you know it's important to stay aware of changes and on top of follow ups but its also important to not let it take over your thoughts. I know easier said than done, glad there's a good community and support on this forum.

            furthermore, just like the other comment, the outlook is great for in situ. Most patients go on to never have another issue again 🙂

            Thanks for your response. I'm glad someone else thinks it's over kill as well. But never complaining about having a good doctor who is thorough. Would rather not ignore it. Trying not stress! Thank you again
