        Hello, I am new to this as well. I had a mole on the ball of my foot since birth. Aropund March 2018 I noticed a lump under the mole, it turning different colors of brown as well as fluid coming out. I originally though it was a blister. I am staged 3b and am currently waiting on a date to start Opdivo. They originally wanted to amputate my second toe and didn't tell me they didnt have to until 10 minutes beofre surgery. I know this is a tough situation but this group gives me some hope.
