I was diagnosed with melanoma on the pelvic area by a gynecologist and in fact they were boils that have almost disappeared since taking antibodiodicts for a week. She also done a scraping of the uterus and an infection set in, that is why I started the antibiodicts Yesterday I had an ulta sound and the gp at the emergency room said they could not see my ovaries but that is not uncommon in older women after menopause I am now so confused I don't think I want to have the hystro-scopic I stopped my periods 15 years ago and have had vaginal spotting for quite some time I am starting to think I would be better off taking my chances and forgetting abourt doctors and hoping for the best My blood work is very good as well as the white blood cell count.

Please do not ingore medical advice.  Endometrial cancer is very cureable if caught early.  Melanoma, too, can be cured if it is caught early, but is hard to treat after it has spread. 

Good luck, 11-year survivor of endometrial cancer
