        I was diagnosed with a T1a, .55mm depth on my leg back in September. At the time, we did CT and lymph node ultrasound of my groin. Dr said if any of it came back iffy, he’d do the SLNB. He added that he had never seen a positive SLNB in a .55mm before, but had in a .65 Everything looked good from radiology, so just the WLE, no SLNB b/c the possible side effects weren’t worth it.
