        Hi Carole, My sister was just diagnosed with stage 3b nodular melanoma. She needs a sentinel lymph node biopsy and wide excision surgery. We are in southern CA. The punch biopsy is being screened for mutations. She needs scans. We are scared. What are you doing for treatment? Are you doing traditional and holistic treatment? Thank you. Triumph
