Hello everyone. First time posting. My dad was diagnosed with stage II melanoma about 2 years ago. He had a surgical resection as well as lymph nodes removed. The nodes were clean and the surgeon was very happy. He did interferon for a year. He has had routine imaging and blood work every 3 months. Imaging had been fine and blood work normal.
Well, now he has 2 lung nodules on chest CT. He is scheduled to have a PET next week.
I guess my post is more of a scared rant rather than a specific question. I just can't understand how everything was looking good with negative nodes 2 years ago and clean blood work since. now he has 2 nodules. I guess the PET is going to be the critical study.
Does anyone have experience with a situation very similar to this? Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated!
