Hi All,
I’ve just been diagnosed with ALM in my right index finger and tomorrow I have an appointment to discuss treatment and next steps.
The diagnosis was expected as the darkness in my nail had noticeably spread since the last biopsy 5 years ago. It had also started to lift and split. So while it wasn’t a surprise, I’m anxious that it may have spread to my lymph nodes. I’ve got lots of moles (one which my also be melanoma, so I’m having removed this week) and I’ve previously had both Hodgkin’s and breast cancer.
Has anyone else had ALM after another form of cancer? And also is there anyone who’s had it in their finger, rather than on their feet or palms?
While I’ve tried not to rely on ‘Dr Google’ I have done a lot of web browsing to find images of it in dark skins as a point of reference. It would be really helpful to hear from any other POC with ALM or anyone who’s had, or is, going through it.
Thanks in advance
