Anyone had ulcerated spindle cell melanoma?

Welcome, @jaymar111, I'm tagging @gaybinator and @psgstl who are familiar with spindle cell melanoma.

Jay, is this a recent diagnosis for you? Is surgery part of the recommended treatment plan?

Diagnosed on February 20. Surgery scheduled for April 3d. Tumor was in ear outside edge of the ear canal.

@jaymar111, checking in to see how you are recovering from surgery? How are you doing?

I’m doing fine. The tumor was on the edge of right auditory ear canal. I’ll see the surgeon on April 9th to remove the bolster bandage. Waiting for the biopsies on the lymph nodes. Thanks for asking.

Surgery went well. Still waiting on an additional lymph node biopsy result but everything negative so far.
