am back here January 4,2016. Had my surgery done in NYC -radical local incision plus sentinal node biopsy. The sentinal node biopsy was negative. Praise the Lord! I am one of the lucky ones I say humbly. I am to be monitored every three months by surgeon and dermatologist. My take away is be vigilant – and tell everyone we know to go for checkups – especially familly members. My dermatologist says melanoma treatment is astounding — with great advances. He points to Jimmy Carter. I will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
