@joe0818 Good for them doing the sentinel node injection. I am sure your dr will discuss this with you prior to the surgery. Did they tell you what stage the biopsied same was?

That's why they are doing the surgery, to see how deep it is, then they will know what stage it is. Just from the mole they sliced off, they said it's at least 2.8mm thick. It will. be good to know about the nodes before. And I am having a full body check this Friday, they only did the waist up before. And I will be going to see the dermatologist every 3 months for the rest of my life.
