        Thank you for all of the wonderful advice. I did get a copy of my report and my dr. Explained more to me. Fortunately is was less than 1mm and she feels that this will be the end of it, but she would like to do regular check ups. I will also have her complete a full body scan as there are several other spots that are a bit suspicious. 

        I am very happy to have found this site and all of this information. Should this happen again, I want to be as informed as I can be so that I can ask the right questions. 

        if you have on melanoma, is there then a higher risk of getting more?
