I just got home from my neck lymph node dissection (yesterday)... They will be doing more biopsies of the material removed. If it does not show more cancer than was found in the original swollen lymph node, I will be pretty happy.
Everything went well but I am exhausted!

Glad that is behind you. I hope the results are good news. Best wishes, Amy

I just got back from getting my two drains taken out. All looks good and I am pleased. They told me that they removed 42 lymph nodes, and only two showed the melanoma, and one of those was already known. They said it would about 6 weeks total for everything to heal up.
