T1b melanoma 34F
Hello! Just wanted to share my recent experience with others who have been through similar
I was diagnosed with a PT1B melanoma on my back in February, 1mm breslow Clark level 3.
I've just had a WLE on Tuesday, and an SLNB which annoyingly for me the CT scan flagged a node in each armpit as ones to biopsy 😫 so I'm currently a bit of a t junction of soreness 😂
Just awaiting results of the SLNB, the consultant said the chance of positive was 20% so I went for it.
Is anyone else currently waiting on test results?
The best (not really) thing about this all is I don't sunbathe and have never bothered to! We think perhaps a couple of childhood sunburns have led to this who knows. Whatever the cause I'm grateful to have caught it early enough to have lower chance of lymph node involvement but we will see.
I'm now a little paranoid about all my other moles though!
