Hi folks
I’m Kath. I was diagnosed with what I hope is a stage 1 melanoma 3 months ago. I had my (optional) lymph node biopsy a couple of weeks ago…
I’ve recently had an axillary sentinel node biopsy for melanoma. I’ve been feeling weird ever since- strange headaches, dizziness, numb arm, tingling hot and cold sweats and really tired. I found the anaesthetic pretty heavy duty, then had to follow it up with a course of strong antibiotics (unrelated to the surgery).
Nothing looks obviously infected. I was very stressed on the run up to it though… it’s been two weeks and I still feel out of sorts. No idea what’s normal… what were your experiences? I’m also in the perimenopause and struggle with anxiety so it’s hard to know what’s caused by what!
Hi Kurlykathb and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
