      The surgeon could inject a radioactive substance, a blue dye or both substances to perform the SLNB. The SLN is then found either by a hand held device that senses the radioactivity or visually by the blue dye. Your surgeon probably had chosen the radionuclide substance.
      Remember, no question is crazy if it is important to you!

      Charlie,

      What a great, motivating note to all of us who has been touched by this nasty beast. I am pleased to see you post again. And you still have such passion and fight.
      Although I do not come back to this site often, I do peek from time to time. I think of many of you these past four years. I had a couple scares which lead to a benign biopsy at my WLE in January and several scans and tests for a hypoechoic nodule in February. All is good for now.
      Thanks for the update, Charlie!

      Adrienne,

      I have read your blog and your father was an amazing man with determination to the end. I am sorry all the pain and sorrow your family has endured during these many struggles with melanoma. May you find comfort in your family and your faith.

      Yes, they can. Ask your doctor at your next appointment.
