      Thank you so much for your response! I’m scheduled to see a Dermatologist first who specializes in melanoma, and then go from there. I’m going to take your advice and ask to see a surgical oncologist if he does not bring it up himself. Even if he doesn’t recommend a SLNB, i’m going to ask to have it done. 

      Just trying to keep my anxiety at bay and not think horrible things is really hard, as I’m certain you understand!
