        I needed this hope … my husband has been diagonsed with 3B … but we aren't finished.  They found .5 mm in on sentinal lobe and nothing in the other sentinal or the other 3 lobes they took.  We were hoping it had just start spreading.  We got PET scan results back yesterday and it showed nodes lighting up in his groin and pelvic area … so not sure exactly what that means.  The good news was it didn't show anything in his brain or organs.  He is 45 … we are very scared.  His orginal tumor was a mole on his back that turned black … 1.5 mm but ulcerated.  If he stays at 3B we intend to go the  interferon route … if it ups to 3C I am not sure what we should do.
