        StevenK,

        I hope you are doing well and would like an update on your heath.

        I was recently diagnosed with a .6mm melanoma on my hand (but with ulceration) and will be going in for surgery Friday for a Sentinel Node Biopsy and WLE.  I am also in Atlanta.  Anything I should ask the doctors before the surgery?  I have done lots of research, but just want to make sure I have covered everything.

        Thank you!
