Cancer
I had a freckle on my chest that just appeared when I was pregnant, but I didn't think anything of it because your skin changes color alot when your pregnant. Well a few weeks ago I noticed it had turned red, so I went to the doctor and she said it could be pre-cancer but she didn't suspect cancer. Well I got a phone call today asking me to come in and sit down and discuss my biopsy with my doctor. And it turned out to be very bad news. I have stage 2 melonoma cancer. They don't believe it has spread to my lymph nodes or anywhere yet, but I am meeting with the surgeon tomorrow to go ahead and have surgeory to remove all of the tissue they believe is infected. We will also know for sure that it hasn't spread anywhere else like the lymph nodes. So PLEASE PLEASE keep us in your prayers!!

Came over from Kelly's Korner.
I am actually a nurse that works with melanoma patients. If you haven't had any further diagnostic testing done other than that original biopsy it sounds like you are talking about the Clark's level being a 2. The Clark's level is a much older staging system and it is not related to the current staging system that is used. I have seen many melanoma's that are a Clark's level 2 that turn out to be a Stage I melanoma and highly curable.
Regardless, I understand how scary and uncertain it is for you right now and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. If you ever want someone to talk to please feel free to contact me via my blog. Hugs to you.
