      Hello, I recently had a WLE done on 23 of April. , my tumor was .9 mm on my upper Back. I did have the SLNB taken from my left Auxiliary. I was told only very small chance there would be anything show up. I returned May 6 for follow up and results. All my Margins were good and and clear , my Lymph-nodes were clear. The surgery wasn’t bad at all. But the Slnb is normally done before the WLE.

      Best of luck.

      I just had one removed from my left upper back between shoulder blade and the middle back area that was .9 mm. Like you I’m not sure how long it had been there either.  I just had my WLE and SLN biopsy this past Tuesday. I go back on the 6th for follow up and hopefully clear results.    They took 3 sentinel Lymp nodes to test from my left Auxiliary.  (arm pit).   My initial biopsy was the 28th February with the dermatologist, who then referred me to an medical oncologist who then referred me to the surgical oncologist.    Wishing you the best.  I’m 53 yo.

      Glad to here all went well. My left under arm is still a little tender, my procedure was on the 23, but every day is a little better.  Prayers and best wishes to you.
