A quick brief, I had a mole grow a blood blister looking thing on it on my upper inside arm, I had a WLE 5th March this staged me at 1b, with a depth of 1.7mm,  I had a surgery yesterday to remove more skin and test my lymph nodes in my upper chest and neck, it found one in my armpit, so when I went under for my skin removal the aim was to remove the lymph node, well when I woke up they told me they could not get it, because I was so dopey I didn't ask any questions.

I have an appointment in 4 weeks to discuss the process. But I am wanting to know what I should expect.? Will my stage change now it's in my last node?. also do I get a full body map done?, is there anything I should be asking my consultant. Thank you Hel.
