      You both were right! (To little info was shared with the results of the biopsy and doc’s rush to get the excision) It was not deep enough to warrant a sentinel node biopsy! I had the excision and another mole biopsy. I look like a shark took a bite out of the back of my arm, but it’s healing. (Stitches out later this month) I figure is a battle scar that might serve as a warning to others to beware of the harmful rays of the sun and to keep an eye on your skin. Thank you both for your replies! (I will be getting a copy of the pathology report Friday) Congratulations on your recovery from stage IV! Valiant!
