        Hello all, 

        I was diagnosed with Desmoplastic Melanoma two weeks ago—8.5mm on my upper back. The depth frightens me but I am encouraged by a clean PET scan last week. Today I had the SNLB and WLE. Now I wait so I can be staged—Stage IIB until I receive the pathology report. How is everyone doing? Are you currently in treatment? 

        Thank you,

        Jamie
