        My pathology report was very similar.  Mine was .25 mm and radial growth phase.  I recently had a wide excision and a SNB both of which were negative for addition melanoma.  I only had the SNB because my lesion had regrown in 6 mos. after a previous biopsy and my surgeon at a renowned melanoma hospital was worried and strongly recommended the SNB even though my lesion was very shallow.

              I just found out that my dermatologist now has the technology to do this.  She hadn;t before.  She told me that before they had the computer program that they recently purchased, she used to send people to St. Joseph Hospital in Orange County.  She says that they have a melanoma program that does full body photography.  She says that they provide the patient with printed photographs to take to their dermatologist and to use at home.  Let me know if you go and how it works out.

              Here is the info.:
