        I guess also I have been worried that maybe this bad unusual nausea could be a sign that the melanoma is spreading.

          Thank you so much for replying, John. You are so right. I think I have been playing it down but inside I am worried. And maybe the nausea is all the anxiety I am hiding. I think when I get back to work and busy, I won’t have as much time to worry. Also, waiting for results can be frustrating and stressful.

            Thank you tkoss. I assume you did not have the lymphedema complication then? And because you needed further treatment, the cancer was found in your lymph nodes as a result of the SLNB surgery?

              I can’t thank you all enough for taking the time to respond to my post. Your answers do ease my mind regarding the necessity of the SLNB. And Celeste, I did peruse your blog, including the very pertinent articles about the procedure and the studies. It is amazing that you gather all that info to make it easier for people like me – confused and a bit scared. Thank you!
