        It is hard not to jump to conclusions or fears. My family has a bad cancer history and I already had a crappy immune system with being a diabetic I don't like the watch and wait to see if it spreads attitude. Trying not to have the waiting for other shoe to drop mentality but it's hard and when found the lump this month has freaked me out!

              This would be amazing but then what is the reality of when US FDA approves…..I'm stage 1b and hoping/praying for some kind of preventative because I don't like the just watch and weight.

                    Did you then have the SLNB done? The surgical oncologist at md Anderson said I could have it done now even thought I've already had the WLE. My WLE was done my a melanoma plastic surgeon at IU health cancer center so today was first time I've seen any type of oncologist.
