Date: 04/18/2007 This is all new to me, and I will read up on it, but how do they determine the Stage level? I've heard that all my life, but I don't know what it means. Obviously the higher number is more serious. My husband has surgery on a mole with melanoma next week. We are in shock and trying to figure it all out. He is a 17 year survivor of throat cancer.

GOD BLESS, stephanie That is just what I needed to know. My husband has a CT scan on Monday morning, a Nuclear dye test on Monday afternoon and then the surgery on Tuesday morning.
