I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I was diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma back in Aug, a month before I was to start grad school. It got revised upwards, it was thicker than they initially thought, but the lymph node biopsy showed it hadn't metastasised. I dodged that bullet... so I don't have any advice. But I would say keep the focus on your health. It was a emotional roller coaster for a bit, surprisingly, and I compartmentalized for awhile. I'm sure going through chemo will be even more 'fun'... I would have deferred going to grad school. Good luck!
