oHi All,

I have been diagnosed with Stage 2 Malignant Melonoma and have had a tumor removed from my temple. The Lymph Nodes on the side if my face and neck have swollen up and I was going to have a Wide Local Excision, but on the day of the operation the surgeon decided to take biopsy's from these sites instead of operating to see if there was any spreading of further cells, I am waiting for a full body scan this Thursday as well.

Has anyone anyone had the experience of swollen Lymph Nodes for a period of time, approx 5 months and has this affected your way of life? In the past months my energy levels have dropped, my sleep patterns have become all over the place  and my enthusiam to get off the settee and do things is negligable..

Can anyone relate to these problems.

Thanks

Chris
