My son is scheduled for a furher excision of a malignant melonoma (1.17.) with a sentinal node biopsy. In your experience (anyone) , do they do the pathology at the time of the surgery and go ahead and remove any affected lymph nodes right then, or do you wait to get the results and then return for removal of any affected nodes?
Thanks for any help or advice you may have.
