I'm about 48 hours into my Cancer experience. I was told on the 7 December 2010 that the lymph node they removed was a melanoma. I had suspected I had Lymphoma but now I'm not sure which is worse.
It's heart stopping and devastating at first. But yesterday I saw the Dermatologist who seemed reassuring. 2 new holes in my body. They took the least perfect looking moles to send to the lab, even though they didn't appear to be suspect under close examination. They conference call with Southampton General has resulted in them ordering a PET scan for me in Guildford and after that it's more surgery to remove other affected nodes.
Waiting is just as hard as not knowing.
