@blc1951: I know you mentioned your doctor was out last week due to the holiday so it sounds like the office is at least keeping you up to date on what's going on "behind the scenes" while you wait to meet in person. I suppose that can be alternately reassuring and frustrating because you still don't know for sure what the plan is!

You did say you'd been informed the biospy showed this to be Stage 2, which means it's confined to the skin, hasn't spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body. What I imagine the slides will show are further sub-stages: A, B or C that correlates to thickness and will likely determine the course of treatment your doctor will decide upon.

I can understand it's hard waiting for all for information and thinking ahead to all possibilities. Is that what you mean about this not being very concerning or can you explain more about that?
