I was diagnosed in March of 2002, but I was misdiagnosed much earlier by my primary in 2000 calling it an ingrown hair not to worry! Six months later I am getting an incisional biopsies, a CT with contrast and blood work not in that order. The orginal dr. was sooooooooo wrong. All they could tell me it was cancer but not which kind, patholgy 4-6 weeks to figure out it was melanoma. I went back to the doctor who made the mistake and was referred to the best oncoligist and plastic surgeon at UCI in Orange,Ca Dr.James Jakowatz and Dr. Jay Calvert, and don't forget Dr.Kent Azran in Long Beach,Ca. Four years later here I am cancer free and hope with God's love and help I will be here as long as I am needed. Peggye. Tue, 28 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMT
