What Causes Lymphedema In Neck?

I had melanoma cancer on my scalp which was removed last sept/2014.....I have several lymph nodes on my neck which has been checked out. The Dr. thinks it is melanoma in the lymph nodes however several tests where fluid was extracted from these nodes have come back inconclusive. She just completed a node biopsy and sending it away for testing. What does inconclusive mean....could this be good news.... thanks
