Squirrelly, I don't know you at all, but reading this thread got me depressed cuz I feel for you. I hope you pull through this. My mom had melanoma 15 years ago and she beat the odds (5% living after 5 years considering the stage it was in). I wish I could help in some way.

Did they tell you immediately after finding it?

Yes. It's kind of a big deal, they don't like to wait to tell you those things. And they know the second they do the scopy. I was told when I came to after the surgery.

Awe even "nice" Jason came out of the woodwork.

As much as I feel for you, it's a relief to hear you say that. I have been wondering WTF is going on since the surgery.

I go in tomorrow for my post-op, so I will find out the details.

Anyway, I would suggest finding a support group.. whether it be online or one you can attend in your city. It may help you cope and feel positive if you are around other people who are going through something similar.

My best wishes to you.

I'm actually NOT thinking negatively at all. I was a little in shock at first that it came back, but overall... I'm actually not depressed about it at all. I meant what I said - you realize life is really really short. At first I was horribly depressed... and now it's like a light switch came on. Since I got diagnosed (and then re-diagnosed) I've shed myself of a lot of negativity. It's also really hard to be thinking negatively when you have people all around you who love and support you. The minute I hear bitching about even the littlest of stuff, I cut the person off. I mean - I have enough stress worrying about this crap and with what I'm going to do about work, I don't need someone chirping in my ear about this drama and that drama. I've realized who's worth keeping in my life, and who's not.

The next few months are going to be very hard, physically and emotionally. But I am lucky enough that everyone around me is already preparing themselves for how they will help me get through it all.
