Yesterday they called me and told me that it is melanoma. I have an appointment with an oncologist at Moffitt on Tuesday, and they have told me I will get more scans, including a brain scan.
It is pretty hard not to see this as the worst possible news, but I am going to try and continue to live by two of my mottos:
PMA - Positive Mental Attitude
NGU - Never Give Up
Thanks to all for your support!
Mitch

@birdman518 Mitch, we knew this might be the result. We were hoping it wasn't, though. Having had melanoma once before, you kinda know the drill of what will be happening.
Absolutely, PMA and NGU should be on repeat in your brain. Are you comfortable with your medical team? You should be hearing from them what Clark level it is [how deep] and the stage. All of this will help guide them and you in the treatment decisions. Will you let me know what they say on Tuesday, please?
