Hi,
I’m new to the group .
Was first diagnosed with melanoma in 1990, I was only 20 years old. It was staged as 4. Had surgery and radiotherapy treatment and thankfully did really well and responded to treatment.
I’ve had a further 5 melanomas removed each being stage 2.
Now after all these years I have pain and swelling in my left arm. I had a full axillary clearance on this side 34 years ago and have not had many issues apart from numbness and a winged scapular due to the surgery. I have a cough and breathlessness and have been referred for an urgent CT of chest and abdomen which I am having today. I’m really anxious, they are looking for recurrence.
its such a long time ago from my initial diagnosis. Has anyone had any experience of similar symptoms?
thankyou
