My biopsy report for a two-colored mole: in situ malignant melanoma.

[no_hypocrisy]

I have to be referred to a surgeon to remove surrounding skin layers, but my dermatologist told me that she "caught it early".

Can anyone tell me more about "early" malignant melanomas before I start to do a google search and get so much information that I can't digest it?

BTW, I'm fine with this all. Not that I'm delusional or in denial. I know it's serious but it's also nearly 100 percent treatable.

But I'd appreciate any input you may have for me.

1. Call 1-800-4Cancer and ask the people there

My wife works in the cancer field and that is her recommendation. Glad they caught it early and good luck.

2. I'm glad you caught it early! I'm trying to get my husband in to get his moles

checked. We don't need another cancer diagnosis in our house! :hi:

3. Great early diagnosis.

I am hoping that my husband gets some good news when he goes in to have a variety of skin lesions and moles checked out in a few weeks. I have been begging him to see a dermatologist for a year. If anything is wrong it won't be an early diagnosis for him.

You were smart to tackle the problem in time. I'm wishing you the best.
