Morning,
I have only recently joined the forum and this is my first post.
ten years ago I had MM diagnosed in a mole on my right shoulder. This was removed and then was staged at 1b with a thickness of 0.6 mm. A wider excision was then carried out and no further treatment needed. I was taken care of by way of check ups for the next 6 years and all has been good.
About 6 weeks ago I felt an enlarged lymph node on my right side collarbone. I have received a CT scan, Ultrasound and biopsy of the lymph nodes in question . The CT scan has now shown an area of concern under the skin in the right side of my abdomen. I still await the results of the lymph node biopsy which was now 2 weeks ago. Anxious does not cover how im feeling .
Trying not to google but admittedly have done a fair bit of this and it reading is not pleasant as it would appear this would mean an advanced stage as the Melanoma would appear to have gone to a distant site as well as lymph nodes.
The comfort I have taken from this forum is the positive comments around treatment . I hope this to be the case for the future .
Best wishes x
