Hi, I have just found out that I have secondary melanoma. 3, tumours (are they tumours???) , in my lungs. Previously . I have had a mole removed on my back and lymph nodes in both arms. Only one lymph node had cancerous cells, measuring less than a mm. This secondary cancer has been found 16 months after the primary cancer was removed. I don’t appear to have any other symptoms and feel really well. I’m just flabbergasted that this is in my body. I have asked Dr Google as I await for an oncology appointment and further scan. This has proven to be a nightmare, one minute I will definitely not be here and the next I could. Just wanted to reach out.
Hi Joanne72 and a very warm welcome to the group.
Discovering that your melanoma has spread to your lungs must be very difficult but there are quite a few people in the group with secondaries who I'm sure will share their experiences with you.
While you're waiting for them to reply, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
