We're in Illinois (Chicagoland). Our 8-yr-old had a mole on his scalp, diagnosed as Melanoma. (Stats 2.1 Breslow, Clark IV, 3/mm mitotic index). Normal bloodwork, so we're optimistic. Tomorrow, they'll confirm his surgery date/details. Tentatively, they're planning to do a wide excision & SNB on Nov 7th. I'll keep you posted.
I am so sorry to hear about your son. There is a wonderful group o fb who devote their time to Pediatric Melanoma. It may be a wonderufl place for you as well as MPIP. MPIP was my salvation for many years when I was dx with Melanoma. There were very few pediatric casesa at the time Pediatric Melanoma is now skyrocketing. and it's finally getting the attention it needs. Hang in there! there are wonderful people to support you.
