        Thank you! Originally  they thought it was stage 3 ..so my oncologist wanted to be sure and was pleasantly surprised it was 2 a.

          Hi! I,too am waiting on mySLNB . It was performed on 6/30/17. I have my next visit on 7/14/17.. The waiting game will make your hair fall out. The one thing that freaks me out the most about Melanoma is how it can go years without returning and them you progress in stages so quickly you don't understand how it happened. I teach kindergarten so I hope all is clear for you as well as mine. Keep us posted!

              The SLNB went well. Super painful unless taking Percocet. Anxious to hear results

                Wow! Thank you very much. I had no idea, that really helped. I have an almost two year old so maybe it won't be too bad coming home. He's a mommas boy and loves to be held.

                      Thank you for sharing. That really puts it in perspective for me. Waiting to get tests done is nerve racking. The pictures are amazing . I need to do that too. It really lets people see the truth about what you're dealing with.
