        :negative: UPDATE!

        I had my surgery! Last minute the Surgeon decided ‘not’ to do the lymph node removal!The reason being, is that the melanoma drained to three different left notes! So he decided that it would be too much surgery to take out the lymph nodes when it’s probably not spread. In the end, I’m kind of glad he didn’t. I woke up in so much pain. People said there’s not very many nerve endings in your scalp. Well, that doesn’t seem to Be true for me.

         

        The first couple of days I was in a lot of pain, only gave me Tylenol threes for the pain. Which really didn’t work. :negative:

        now we wait.
