They were only able to remove 2 of the nodes. (They had planned to remove 4) he was discharged less than 24 hrs later into my care. None of his wounds were dressed. He had no disharge information (no post operative care) we are now waiting to hear about any follow up treatment. Is this &quot;normal&quot;.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=355684&AppID=31009&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/getting_concerned_now/posts/confusion-getting-concerned2010-07-19T09:33:52Z2010-07-19T09:33:52Z<p>My partner goes in hospital on Friday for a lymphendectomy. He has had melonoma outside the body for the past 5 years on and off. The news that it had spread to the inside left me with a feeling in the pit of my stomach I cant explain. I have read many stories on here about this operation but none about follow up treatment or possible outcomes. We havent been told anything other than the biopsies and CT scan show&nbsp;it has spread to the lymph nodes in the groin and under the armpits. The consultant just said lets whip those lumps out sooner the better! Thats about the size of it. my partner bless him is under the assumption thats all that will happen. Im no medical expert but I suspect thats not all thats gonna happen.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=353569&AppID=31009&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
