        Waiting for a determination will only work against you. See a good dermatologist as soon as you can. My worst lesion was a small bump on my chest with no pigmentation and was only discovered when my derm. ran her hand over it.  Don't wait .

          Thank you for the information. It sounds very familiar to this point. I hope your wife beats this awful cancer. I had molecular analisys on my chest lesion and it rated me at a 30% + chance or a disease reoccurance. Oncologist B is a glass half full guy and said I had a 70% chance it will never come back. I hope to make the correct decision (for me) after my last biopsy is completed. Thanks again.

            I have one pending biopsy for a lesion that is in the soft tissue between my femur and knee. I hope he is not anticipating a pos. outcome.

            I will ask Onc. A your question when I see him about my last biopsy.

            Thanks for the input.
