Hi, I was diagnosed with stage 2b melanoma in November, I had wle and slnb. Lymph nodes clear and I had a ct scan. Saw the consultant this week who said that there was a spot on my liver, radiologists state it’s a hemanginoma but consultant has ordered an mri for peace of mind. Anyone else experienced anything like this?

After initial diagnosis I did go private as I had waiting 6 weeks for what should have been a 2 week referral.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I was diagnosed with Stage 2a melanoma nearly 7 years ago now and also had clear lymph nodes. When I was diagnosed CT scans weren't routinely used if the WLE and SLNB results were clear so I haven't had one.

    However, there are others in the group who will have had CT scans and hopefully they'll come forward to share their experiences with you, especially if something was seen on their liver.

    When will you be having the MRI?

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi, thanks for the reply, I had the MRI scan on Thursday evening so I’m hoping for the results on Tuesday. I’ll head over and update my profile.

  • Let us know how your appointment on Tuesday goes.

    Fingers crossed

  • Got the results today, the spot on my liver is a benign cyst.
