Bio

I have had this mole for as long as i can remember 7 years or more. I noticed im May 2014 that it started to change when i was 6 months pregnant. I had the derm look at it twice in may and said it was nothing then in july went back again said it was normal and did noy remove. In oct i decided i didnt care it needed to come off. On Nov 6th with my 2 year ild and 3 month old baby i get the diagnosis of melanoma and lose it. Iy was .9 mm no ulceration, no mitosis, brisk TILs clarks level 3. And tx began 6 weeks later after tons of drs appts. I had a WLE and SLNB all were clear yay! Now i have live each day in fear of it returning and i wont see my children grow.
