      I was wondering before WLE/SNLB had any 'symptoms' that the melanoma was in their lymph nodes or sentinal nodes? I have noticed an area of tenderness below my collar bone, where the sentinal nodes are. It is on the same side of my body as my mole was. It has been tender to touch, for a few months, but no hard firm lumps, just small soft tender spots. 

      Thank you

          I had no symptoms, but everyone seems to exhibit and/or respond differently with this disease.  Good luck to you!

            I had no symtoms, also have not heard of sentinel nodes being in the collar bone area, armpit and neck are the more typical upper body sentiel node areas, but like Rocco said, mel presents differently for everyone.
