        Question: does the fact that no microscopic sattelites were seen and no lymphatic invasion mead that it's less likely that there is a rogue cell on it's way throughout my body?

        Also, does the "melanocytes are extending very close" necessarily mean they didn't get it all, or just that there isn't SUFFICIENT clean margin seen?

        When you DO get clean margins, are you "cured" pending recurrence?

        thanks

              thanks….can i assume it is gone forever if a WLE comes back with clean margins? what determines risk after a WLE?

                    this is EXACTLY the reply i was hoping for.  It confirms what i suspected.  I have asked for a copy of the report to be emailed to me.  Thanks for your help.  You've given me tremendous comfort.  The doc didn't seem worried at all, but you know, googling "stage 3" isn't comforting, lol.

                    Thanks again.
