Hello everyone. I’ve just been to my post op appointment with my nurse after a WLE on my left shoulder for MM pt1a in February. She did a full check of my lymph nodes and noticed in my armpit a tightness and when she pressed it hurt. On my way home the pain radiated down to my breast and also across my collar bone. She said she wants a scan sorting for this just to check everything is ok but said if it was a swollen lymph node from cancer spreading it shouldn’t hurt.
Just wondering if anyone on here has had a swollen lymph node that hurt after diagnosis of MM and turned out to be the Melanoma spreading?
