Back Again

Less than one minute read time.

Hi after being told i was clear of melenoma ,after a wide excision just above the knee  last april,i went back a month later and they had found a small lump on my inner thigh ,i had it tested and was told that it was all clear,now since then i found that the lump had got bigger from 3 months previous,as my appintment was due jan 5th 2010 i waited till this time to have further investigation,and was told that might have to have further treatment as it looks like that the cancer must have been missed in my lynthnode test. ,i have now had another test this time and i have to go back to see the specialist on the 7th this week.to get the results,im pretty scared again ,because i have to have this lump removed ,weather its pos or negative ,for further investigation.cant understand whats going on at the moment, i feel quite well.

    Hi Tony,

    Sorry to see you back here again.  They are a bit scary these lumps and bumps that pop up.  I had one too that turned out to be an abnormal lymph node, which was surprising since I'd had all of my lymph nodes removed from that area.. but at least in wasn't more melanoma.  

    Good luck for tomorrow.

    Hi there,  Know just how you feel.  I thought I was clear after a WLE then a year down the line I had a lump in my groin.  I needed to have lymph nodes in my groin and abdomen removed.  Abdomen nodes were clear.  This was in March last year.  Then in October there were lumps under the skin of my WLE.  Had another operation.  Needed to have a skin graft which have still not healed completely.  Got another CT scan on Thursday.  I feel fine, never felt ill at all, just seem to have been recovering from surgery for ever!  Take care x
