Hi Linda
I read your post and felt I had to send you a quick message. I dont know if anyone close to you has recomended you look into compensation for the 2.5 yrs you did not have tx for your melanoma. Anything that is removed from our body must be screened by patholgy, AND kept for a couple of yrs. not sure how many. So if you have not pursued this I would for 2 reasons, probably came from that mole, what a Dr. told you isn't good enough, cause what if there is another or one on your head that cant be seen.
Second, I'm not a sue monger, truely I'm not, but it sounds like something is not right. I would pot on Melanoma International, connect w/ a Catherine Poole, and run your situation by her. She is well educated in the field of melanoma and also a member on the site.
with the best intent,
