Hi I'm new to the group and new to Melanoma .I was diagnosed initially as stg 1 with a pigmented lesion on my right thigh. I'm 50 years old and like all things in life I deal with them pretty well. However at the diagnosis appointment I showed a new pigmented spot at my knee. The initial lesion had a WLE and the new spot was biopsied during this surgery . Shocked to find out it was a secondary from the primary lesion and there and then they performed another successful WLE .
So I'm now in a different ball game.
Diagnosed now with intransit melanoma .CT of the brain has come back clear and I'm' waiting for results of a body PET scan taken a week ago.
The waiting is so difficult My emotions are uncontrollable. One day I'm lucid, reliable and in control .The next day I'm off the scale. During the day I can keep busy but my sleep patterns at night are when the anxiety is at its worst. Night sweats too are uncontrollable. I now dread to go to bed at night.
It's strange/surreal writing it all down .
