Hi all.

I need some help please i am mega anxious as had 1b melanoma removed from my left forearm in Sept 2019. 2 weeks ago I felt a lump in my left armpit had scan n shows suspicious of metastases other lymph nodes looks less than 1cm. 

Has anyone else had similar? I feel so alone and as if its just me this has happened to.

Thanks 

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    Feeling anxious when you discover something after a melanoma diagnosis is perfectly normal and we've all been there. In my case it turned out to be nothing to worry about and I hope it'll be the same for you, as I don't think you know for sure if melanoma has been found in your lymph node yet. I'm hoping I've read your message correctly.

    You say that the scan shows "suspicious of metastases" so what is the next step for you in the investigations?
