        Hi, Dennest,

        I was diagnosed back in 1989. The melanoma was on my back. I had a wide excision to remove it with no other treatment. This happened six months before my wedding. My surgeon advised us to wait two years before becoming pregnant. We did exactly that. I went on to have three children. I am still seen regularly by a dermatologist.

         

        The best to you,

        Marian
