Thank you for this. My wound heals well and the lymph node on my neck was there before the biopsy. I have a really big, hard and tender lymph node in my groin (same side). I really don't know what to think anymore 🙁   I don't want to think that pathologist would miss advanced melanoma but I'm not ill so no reason for my LN to pop up

Thank you very much for your response. My mole was pretty small too, I would say 4-5 mm. it was perfectly round and one coloured although didn't quite look like Spitz nevi on the internet. I wish I knew how deep it was . I really worry because I have a couple of tender lymph nodes too but I hope that pathologist wouldn't diagnose something if he wasn't sure and that he wouldn't miss advanced melanoma. I'm glad that my doctor asked for a second opinion but waiting is really hard especially that I'm a massive worrier.

Hi Janner,

thanks for your response. I'm 25 so I guess I'm a bit in between. Do you think that completely excised means clear margins? I haven't even seen my report as I was away for Christmas. Why do they need to excise 5mm more? Pretty sure they wouldn't bother if it was nothing to worry about? Sorry I'm just very panicky!
