Staged
I'd like to at some point talk about what stage I'm in with all this - the diagnosis was fairly recent as far as that goes - July 20th is what's written on the diagnosis paper I have. I need to detail out the discussions with the PA who biopsied the mole, the oncologist who was scheduled to do the wide excision/sentinel lymph node biopsy, and the doctor of dermatology who the PA works for. Very interesting conversations all, but the same themes showing up over and over again...nutrition shocker to come. Pretty depressing when I think about those talks actually; no one should have to ever go through that. I'll get to the psychology of this whole process in short order as well. People should know or have some sense of what to expect when they or a loved one is faced with a diagnosis like this.
