        Had WLE (6″ down center of back to lower back.) & SLNB (3 right under arm, one left under arm) one week ago today,my one hour surgery turned 4 hours. I go back Monday for results. I have a high tolerance for pain, low tolerance for pain meds. 2nd day no pain meds , 1000mg of ibuprofen helps now. I’m extremely sore on lower back & right under arm. INSIDE stitches & outer glue for under arms, stitches in back. WAS almost close to skin graph, thankfully , didnt. Prayers for us all. I love this group &;I’m so grateful for it & yall. I’m in constant panic since I found out Sept 13 2016.

              I went straight to a dermatologist on the 13th, he immediately was concerned, did biopsy, &:he requested to the lab he needed results back asap, got my results back Fri the 16th, with melanoma. I’m waiting to hear from the dr at the cancer center to do more test to find what stage, if it spread etc. My situation is exactly as yours. Mole on middle of my back, itched to the point it drove me insane. Mine is rather protruding, & “crusty like” but it hasn’t bled or anything.

                      Mine has not been removed, he jus took a piece of it. He didn’t want to cut not knowing the extent of it, less cutting on me, until absolutely necessary.

                          I spoke with my dermatologist, I guess once he mentioned concerned, I panicked & barely heard the rest, he did not cut mine out , due to he was almost positive, without a doubt it was mel, had he removed it, he would’ve had me go to the hospital instead of his office, small town, not all equipped to do extensive tests, so rather , I’m going to a mel specialist whom can do everything in one place. I’d rather, than go to different locations to get several different tests & treatments. Yes, me too, real stupid of me. Hope yours comes back clear. But forever keep an eye on it & all of them .
