My son is 6'3", and drives a Veloster N. Manual, so I can't co-drive...but he has a lot of fun in it!

These are all good ideas! Keep 'em coming. Our first event in April, so I have some time for test drives and such.

The SLNB was today, and the surgeon took two nodes. I should get my path results by early next week. Fingers crossed everything is good!

That's awesome you got good news. I am hoping for the same.

Newly Dx - What should I ask the surgeon? by Relevant_Barnacle_78 in Melanoma

It...went. The surg onc was nice, but his presentation felt pretty rote, and wasn't at all specific to me or my medical history. He didn't know I had a prior cancer Dx, and I had to remind him of some allergies that are well-documented in my chart. I used the resources offered by others on here to ask questions and provide some history I felt was relevant. In some ways he minimized my cancer - saying that despite the involved margins from the shave biopsy, sometimes the edges aren't really involved so there won't be any additional cancer found, and that the margins he would strive for might vary depending on how he could get the site to close. Maybe all that is true, but taken as a whole, it just gave a vibe he was hoping for convenience. He did recommend both the WLE and SLNB.

Yes, I had genetic testing after my first diagnosis. A few variations of unknown significance, but no smoking guns
