ok, so the mole is off and on its way to pathology. He agreed it looked suspicious. The lymph node is swollen and i do have a sinus infection. So one may be related to the other. We are waiting for pathology. then he said, if positive will do sentinal node then if needed scans. If they do sentinal node, how long until they know there is something in the node or not? Then do they turn around and go in again and take out all the nodes? so another surgery? There isn't a way to know and do it all at once is there? Plus the lymph nodes under my arm are tender and have a knot. Those are right directly below my very first mole and in situ. Literally, on the shoulder of that arm.
I think i am going to take my sinus medication and go jump in some puddles. Thank you all for advice and support. Debbie

Advanced registered nurse practitioner. And while what she did was within her scope of practice, diagnose and discuss biopsy results, i am puzzled by her lack of knowledge. I would expect one in dermatology to have a better understanding of clark level and staging. I am not one to judge based on few details, but i personally would not want to remain at a practice that is so obviously limited on such an umportant detail. You will need oncology care anyway, so move on. But i would encourage you to talk to the office manager about what happened. -

Its so sad to hear that your mom passed away as well. And so young. I am sure they are together. I hate melanoma with a passion and i never let an opportunity to educate pass me by. I am glad that you are in charge of your skin too. I send you a hug. Please post anytime you need to talk to someone. The loss is devastating. Eerye -

Thank-you for the li.k. very helpful. I was going to talk with my mom, when she proceeds to tell me about a dark mole on her back that she had removed by dermatology today and sent off to pathology. i just pray it’s nothing on her. It sounded large and ugly, bleeding and itchy. Prayers for nothing.it really is crazy. I didn’t want to discuss what-ifs now. Will wait and see… Thanks for support. Strangely enough, I no Longer worry about me. -
