        So sorry you are going through all this worrying. I do think it was inappropriate for your dermatologist to scare you like that. He gave you way too much info. From experience the biopsy will tell you if its melanoma but to truly know anything else it would need to be removed. Then the dr truly knows the depth and pathology. There is nothing fast when it comes to the full diagnosis.

          Thank you for replying. It helps hearing other stories and treatments. I'm so anxious right now especially thinking of the treatments I may have to do. Did they recommend radiation?

            Thank you so much. I go the Cleveland Clinic where they do specialize in Melanoma. It's def a roller coaster ride.
