      Thank you, Janner. The reason they decided to do the SNLB is bc of my family history with metastatic melanoma. My aunt had a very small melanoma, had it removed, and within 1.5 months it had spread to her lymph nodes. Thankfully, she has been in full remission for many years now. 

      Again, thank you for your kind words and helpful advice. I know that it will get easier, it just all happened so fast. I was in the office for a rash on my arms, not a tiny freckle on my ankle. Thankfully, I had my dermatologist check it out bc it had changed slightly.
