I was wondering if any one was or has been in the same situation. I was diagnosed with MM 15mnths ago on my back. I had a SNB that removed 9 lymphnodes. I was not allowed to have the blue die because I am alergic to sulfer. All has been good for 15mnths. recently my Father was diagnosed with stage 4 that has spread everywere. because of this I had a PET scan and it showed activity in left armpit. My surgen refered me to an oncologist (appointment is next week). has anyone had similar experience were it was removed then a while later spread
My husband was diagnosed oct.2005 and it had spread to his lymphnodes in his armpit also.They removed the main tumar and the nodes under his arm and said things where good they got all of it..But over a year later he started having different symptoms like tumars just appearing on his skin.Some are skin color and some are redish purple.So unfortunately his melanoma has spread and he is now stage four.I am so sorry for you and your father I know you you are going through.My god be with you and your family.
