    It's going to be a needle biopsy Monday morning to see if the popliteal node is mel.  I requested this doc who did my obturator node biopsy and gave me my results as soon as I woke up so I am hoping for the same Monday.  Of course, I am hoping he says it's a good ol' infection instead of mel….hey, a girl can dream, right?

    Have a great day everyone!

      Laurie, good luck with the biopsy on Monday. Lymph nodes can be inflamed for any number of reasons, and the cause may well be an infection as you have said.

      You are in my prayers.
