      Had re-excision of rt cheek today. Pulled 2 lesions suspected to be lymphnodes. Both pink & white in color. One was 7mm the other was 4mm. Waiting on biopsy results but given they were right under scar, it has to be melanoma. Guessing this would put me at Stage IIIC? Fun part is waiting to hear news….ugh!!

          Now Josh, What gave you idea that anything has to BE with Melanoma?  I want to know where its rule book is!  Hang tough!  Waiiting for that path report! 

          If it was mine it would have to have been BLACK to be melanoma.  The pink ones weren't (They  weren't in my scar zone  either.)

                    I know Jerry. I just find it suspicious. When I heard that he “thinks” they’re lymph nodes. I got pissed. I think more pissed that if they end ip being Mel, that I found them after being at my oncologist a week prior. I do see a melanoma specialist. Now the wait us killing me but surgeon said he will try to get me results Friday. I hope whiteish/ pink is good!
