        I am in the same boat. I have my wide excision surgery and SNB scheduled Dec 7th. My pathology report stated it was invasive nodular melanoma with a breslow thickness of 4mm or deeper. Mitotic rate of 20. I have been informed my numbers are not good and I just recently had an MRI due to dizziness. Still waiting on those results. I am prepared for the pain and I am prepared for the scars, but I am of course scared for the future and results. Stay positive and I hope knowing your not alone can bring you some comfort.
