Thanks for your replies! All I'm working with at this point is a phone call saying he has melanoma and to call the sergeon for an appointment. She did give him a few basics on what to expect but I am tring to find a way to get a handle on this without any pertinant information, which I'm finding out is counter productive. I will just leave it alone and breathe till we go on his appointment and make sure we get a copy of his results.
