        Hello. I was reading your post. I am from Wilmington,NC . A year ago I had a suspicious mole removed , never biopsyed. She threw in trash. It grew back a few months later. knowing nothing about Melanoma.Mind you it was on my neck. I had a 4.4 growth . I have 2 surgeries with physical problems. It spread to my lymph nodes. Now doing Chemo. They should have to biopsy every thing removed . I just thought our cases sounded familiar. I hope your wife and your family are doing well.

                                Thank you for your story. I will diffently ask those question on 31st . I first had a choice of surgery or immunotherapy. But got a call from head UNC melanoma surgeon that I needed both. I had my WE and SLNB on April 24 . I was misdiagnosed last year when mole removed on neck was never biopsy. So we will see , it's all so unreal and scary. But again Thank you and Nocancer for you I pray,,,,
