Rang doctors and sent them a picture within 2 mins they rang back saying he&#39;s being referred within 2weeks for urgent referral. Should I be worried? What will they do there?&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=719142&AppID=32169&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/willowchase/posts/melanoma2011-08-16T14:19:31Z2011-08-16T14:19:31Z<p>My name is Penny and my&nbsp;husband was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in April, he has had most of his left shoulder removed and an axillary clearance in his armpit done, he has now been told that the melanoma is in the lymph nodes in his neck and has to have a neck dissection done next week, this has really rocked us as a family, every thing is happening so fast. My job involves dealing with tissue samples in a histology lab so every operation that my husband has had comes to where i work, and it really freaks me out and haven&#39;t been able to work for a few weeks, i have found this online community really helpful and just knowing that what i am feeling is perfectly normal and that it is ok to be scared, but i do feel as though i am letting my husband down by being unable to face doing my job, i feel pathetic and useless. There that feels better sorry if i have rambled but i needed to get it off my chest.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=446104&AppID=32169&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
