I discovered a mole on my leg to be melanoma, stage I in January. I had to have a second incision to remove the outer area to ensure that all cancerous cells were removed and it hadn't spread. This was all done in a matter of weeks. Jan. 4 mole removed, sent for biopsy..results given Jan. 11 and second incision on Jan. 15th. By Jan. 25 I was told that the second incision produced NO additional melanoma cells so all was good. No other treatment required except major follow-up with derm every three months.
I however went to three different Oncologist specialists and had consultations with them just based on what I was reading on internet. Your daughter might have to do this. I also went back on my medical records and obtained all past xrays and ct scans that were done from past 7 years (from various emergency visits) to have a cancer specialist read the scans to ensure that there isn't something else we should be watching for. I'd advise you to do that for her for a peace of mind.
They found two additional tumors that they are now watching for growth that showed up in past scans but no ER doctor felt was important to comment on (or maybe they weren't experienced in the cancer field to look for signs)...so better to be pro than have any surprises.
Your daughter can't have CT scans or xrays but she can have ultrasounds. They found one of my tumors via ultrasound (not ct scan) so I'd advise she have that done at least now and have the other tests done once her baby is born.
Good Luck..it is a scary road to go down, but if caught early, a safe one.
God Bless,
