Hi there
I'm new to all this my name is kazzie im 54 and was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma,
Id found a lump in my armpit ultrasound scan showed up 4 lumps lymph nodes swollen 4 biopsies taken. Waited a awful 3 wks but came back clear...on returning for the results I felt that the lump had got bigger so when told it was clear explained that I felt had got bigger and was painful having pain in my muscle down to my wrist,
I then had another ultrasound and mammogram ( even though it had only been 4 months since last mammogram)
Ultrasound showed lump had got bigger and instead of 4 lumps now I have 6... more biopsies taken. Then I was called back withjn the wk to tell me it was cancer. They said that there must be a hoist somewhere for it to then go to my lymph nodes so ct scans of head throat and to pelvis was taken but came back nothing could be found..
I had the operation all lymph nodes removed from my armpit discharged after two days with one drain attached and told to come back in 6 wks itss now been 4 wks ive been to my local gp to find out I had infection so antibiotics was given but no other contact I was given a nurse to call if any questions but she never gets back to you just felt so alone scared that something has been missed, any slight pain think I still have it not sleeping well as anxiety wakes me up has anyone else had this done and how was there experience?
