Bio

I was being worked up for a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome when I had a mole with a scab shaved off. Now that is muddled as I currently (Oct, 2016) am also diagnosed with IIIa melanoma. It was removed with margins and 1 of 2 removed sentinal nodes had a microscopic melanocyte. PET was subsequently negative for imageable tumors (roughly .5cm in melanoma).

I actually do think I have CFS as those symptoms are still with me after the resection and negative PET scan. So, I would say that I have a bit going on.
