  I have been diagnosed with superficial spreading melanoma, Stage II. I am having the SLNB this week and was curious of other peoples experiences with this surgery. I was told first about the dye injection, then I will go in to Outpatient surgery where they will do the sentinal node, have it tested then I will go to surgery. The surgeon booked the center for a 2-21/2 hour surgery. Yikes, this seems like a lot. I will question the surgeon, but I would like to hear other opinions.

  I have RA induced CT and am having the release done on the right hand next month. I will have to have the left done also. Has anyone had both hands done at the same time? I figure it would save time/money to do it at the same time, but I also don't want to be too indisposed by having both hands immobile. Would appreciate your thoughts and advice.

  Was diagnosed last Jan and started MTX (injection), folic acid and prednisone. Started Plaqunil in June and able to get off prednisone in October. I have been able to tolerate all meds very well, no hairloss, not feeling overly sick. Thought I was managing quite well. Now the big bummer..had a suspicious mole checked, diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma. Between the excision of the site and new surgery coming next week for a sentinel lymph node biopsy, been off and on the MTX for several weeks....
