i have recently been for my 6 month check up after having stage 1 melanoma removed and found an enlarged lymph node in my armpit. 
I had an ultrasound and I’m due to go back for another and a needle biopsy. Has anyone had this before? Just wondering how you felt after? I was planning on going to work so that I don’t have to explain why I’m off. I do have a physical job so wanted to check if this is possible? 

  • I had a needle biopsy in a groin lymph node. It was uncomfortable and a little sore after the local anaesthetic wore off but I was back to normal stuff without much issue.
