I wrote a few emails to different people, but didn’t really have the energy to write any more, so thought I’d use this site’s blog role to make a quick post.
Yesterday I had a lymphocintography (aka lymphosintography, aka lymphosyntography) where they injected radioactive die into the site of the melanoma and took xrays of the lymph node that the ink drained to.
The theory is that if the sentinel (first) lymph node doesn’t contain melanoma then none of the others will. I had about four injections of the radioactive dye, the injections were ok, but the pain came when the dye was pushed out from the needle, pretty bad, but ultimately worthwhile. The dye clearly drained to one lymph node.
Today I went under the knife. I think I was the first on the list, so had to be there at 7am and was conscious by about 10am. The whole experience was great, a little unsettling, but the nurses were really nice and helpful.
I actually never saw a surgeon. I don’t think they were there when I was wheeled into the operating room, and they didn’t see me after I woke up. But I got the necessary info. They only took one lymph node, which means that when they tested it, it didn’t contain any melanoma cells.
They have to do some more tests, but I think only about 15% of the time are they wrong on the initial diagnosis.
So now it’s just a matter of spending 24 hours getting over the anesthetic. I’m pretty tired, unstable on my feet and nauseous. I’ve also pretty much lost my appetite.
Tomorrow I should be pretty much back to normal and my life will just include regular checkups, and constant awareness of the need to keep an eye out for masses.
For all those who were praying for me, thanks for your prayers. I had a great day, and I believe that God’s protecting hand was over me today.
Now I’d better stop typing and go do something else or I’ll fall asleep. Later.
Howdy! I just wish to give a huge thumbs up for the nice info you have right here on this post. I will be coming back to your weblog for more soon.
Would you be all for exchanging links?

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the
shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is completely off topic but
I had to tell someone!
I visit day-to-day some web sites and information sites to
read articles, but this website offers quality based
articles.
Hello there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that
it is really informative. I’m gonna watch out for brussels.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your
point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just
posting videos to your blog when you could be
giving us something informative to read?
