Thanks everyone for the prayers and positive thoughts.

Patti no it wasn't classified as a melanoma.
I did however save her path report and this what it said.
Oh I also stated it wrong, it was her upper lip.

Round cell tumor compatible cutaneous plasamacytoma.
( contains rare megalocytic and multinucleated cells are present).

Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for this tumor. Since it can be locally infilrative. The surgical site should be monitored for local recurrence.

This was done in 2008, she passed from cancer on 2010, BUT not from the lip cancer.
