Hi everyone
I’m sorry if I don’t make sense or sound odd in what I’m writing, I’m struggling to understand anything after being diagnosed on 23rd July.
This is what I know so far - Melanoma breslow 3.1mm PT3a which was a mole on the bottom of my scalp that had turned nasty.
I’ve been told they need to do a WLE, and lymph node biopsy which will be done at the same time.
I had a CT scan which was an odd experience, I walked in the room and one of the nurses or workers said ‘are we just scanning your head today?’ I’ve no idea, I just told her my melanoma was on my head. Surely they have received instructions? So anyways they seemed to just scan my head and I held my arms up presuming so they can see my lymph nodes chest up to my head.
I’ve had a call today asking me to book in for a pelvic/vaginal ultrasound scan - why is this? I wasn’t expecting this scan and wasn’t told it was required. I’m not bothered about the scan, but my brain is in absolute overdrive because I don’t know if it is a normal request or if they have found something on my CT scan which was on Monday.
is this a normal test to have??? It’s not mentioned anywhere or in any of the suppprt paperwork I’ve received. Any help is appreciated because I feel like I’ve been left in absolute limbo on my own at the moment.
Thank you
Jo
