I'm scared. Have sore on neck, saw dermatologist yesterday now I'm scheduled to cut the spot out which is half the size of an eraser, he drew on paper the size and shape of a human eye which is what he is going to take out and said would have 5 of 6 stitches then will send that to pathology. This seems pretty radical to cut a big hole in a woman's neck before knowing for sure it is cancer. Which tells me he knows from experience it IS cancer and is taking the whole area to prevent spreading.
My friend is stage 3 metastatic malignant melanoma and has double vision and now deafness. She had 27 lymph nodes removed. She is having an mri scan tomorrow but has had no chemo/raditherapy. She was a sunbed addict.

Very informative. Thank you for posting this. Surgery scheduled next month. Scary stuff. Very scary stuff. Family history, too. Ugh.
