Sharon:

     Thanks for your reply, made me laugh, something I needed this week.  Since January I have been spending a lot of time on the internet doing research which, of course, is how I found this site.  Hope your brain scan showed you had one.  As Janner suggested, I will make copies of everything.  Good idea.

Janner:

     Thanks for the reply.  My original melanoma was Level IV, Stage I.  I was not smart enough to ask the question of whether this was a metastises or new primary.  Anyway, my derm is a Physician's Assistant in whom I have great confidence (she diagnosed me originally when I went in for an unrelated minor hand problem) but she may not be willing to give that kind of an opinion.  It is, however, an important question I should ask her when she calls with the biopsy results.  I guess I should hope it is a new primary.  I am concerned that it was not visible when I was checked four months ago and now the derm is concerned even though it is only the size of one-quarter of a pencil eraser.  Thanks again,
