      OH also…. the WLE is going to be under sedation like a colonoscopy. So I will be asleep but not full general anesthesia. I was under the impression it would just be local anesthesia… so glad… I do not want to sit through that!

      That's what I thought….. There shouldn't be a reason I'm getting an apt letter from them. They are not the same dept at Melanoma…. Different floors at MDA. Hope it's a mistake…. I don't think there was anything in my path report that would signal lymphoma.

      I got a letter stating I had an apt with the Lymphoma center at MD Anderson. I will call on Monday to ask, but it just seems weird unless it is incase it has gone to lymph nodes? Or they test them.
