        Thanks for all the comments and support everyone.  Just an update, I did end up seeing a dermatologist and oncologist after many phone calls to the clinic to get moved. us.  So I have been diagnosed with Stage 3B melanoma.  I guess right now, I am getting tested to see if I have a BRAF mutation to see if I am going for targeted therapy or immunotherapy as well as waiting 3 weeks for a PET/CT scan to see if it has gone any further.

          Good news is always welcome to hear.  Thanks for the post.  I am 33 male and currently in Stage 3B.  I have a wife and 2 kids and think everyday if I will be able to watch my kids grow up.  Hearing stories that it is possible always lifts my spirits.
