        Hello!  I,too, was just diagnosed with Melanoma in situ based on a small sample that my PCP took. I have a Surgery Consult and Oncology appointment next week.

        I was wondering how everything worked out for you and if you had any advice you can share.

        Also, maybe you know the answer to my question. My biopsy report inidcated that the Melanoma Cells covered the full tissue sample, which is why I need further surgery, can this diagnosis change? Is there a chance that the cells go deeper than the sample showed?

        Thanks in advance for anyones opinion/advice/experience!

              Thank you, Janner! This is all new for me, obviously, and scary I dont want to minimalize or make a bigger deal than it is, but also know that the survival rate is great. I appreciate you taking the time out to ease/help my anxiety!
