Thanks for the feedback on the antideepressants.  I was curious if it was fairly common to be on them once diagnosed.  the Melanoma dr today suggested Celexa but when we look at the side effects, it says sleep, and drowsiness.  she is already sleeping a lot.  i tell her she is making up for lost time – since there are 6 kids.  She never napped.

The doctor also said she would not call in the prescription until I okay it with my mom.  So i will head over there and have lunch with her on Wednesday and talk about her smile being gone lately.

I cannot even fathom the amount of stress this puts on a body…….

We have an extensive family history of melanoma.  Great grandma had ocular, uncle passed away at 41, mom has had 2 bouts of it, my uncle on dad's side and cousin on dad's side have had it and my husband.  My 13 year old says "at least we know what we are going to die from mom."
