Hi all Was wondering if anyone had some advice to calm my nerves. Brief history - had melanoma stage 3 on lower left back in 2007. Slnb performed but did watch and wait had recurrence in left groin nodes in 2019 - total left inguinal and pelvic...

My 80 year old mother has just had a mole on her face removed that was found to be a stage 1 melanoma. She’s having the surrounding area removed further in a few weeks but they are not doing the slnb. Any ideas why they aren’t doing it, I’m worried that...
