                      Hi Natasha, So how's it going after the wide-local?

                      My girlfriend is now awaiting surgery for the removal of all lymph-nodes from her armpit on 13th April (not looking fwd to this one much!)..

                      did you have or were you offered a Sentinal Lymph Node biopsy? what was your Breslow depth?

                       

                      thanks for writing back…  🙂

                      Will.

                                  Hi, i just read your profile… that's an amazing journey in your cancer story –  going from 2mm to 0.2mm !! You were lucky to get it so early… you wont qualify for SLN at that depth… 🙂

                                       Yes ,I went from 2 mm to 0.2mm melanoma 🙂

                                       Doctor said I do not need SNB ,but I already had wide escision. Scar is big ,I did not think it will be so big,but all heeled well.

                                      I will have my follow up appointment on 16th of April.

                                      I am in Cambridge mbut where do you live and get your treatment.

                                      I as told in our hosipital they will look at me for 1 year and if everything will be o'k , nothing will happen after that ,no derm appointments .
