Hello
I was wondering what people’s opinions are regarding scans.
Has anyone been given scan results that have been all clear, to actually find out the melanoma has actually spread, but was not picked up in scans?
Im just interested if anyone has experience of this.
Thank you
Hi Douthc511dc
I didn't have scans as part of my follow-up after melanoma was diagnosed so don't have any relevant experience to share. However, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

Hi, I had clear scans for about 10 months after my treatment immunotherapy then on my last scan a small nodule has appeared on my lung. Have had to wait 4 months for another scan to see if it has grown or spread anywhere else. My melanoma was on my leg then spread to my lymph nodes in groin originally. Absolutely dreading getting my results.
Hope you are well.
Aww it must be so worrying for you. Hope all goes well for your results ️
