This September I had a mole removed from my arm and it turned out to be Melanoma. I am only 31 years and of course FREAKED OUT!!!! I was a stage 1B Melanoma. I had a surgery where they removed a wider margin of tissue around where the melanoma mole was plus also had the Sentinal Node Biopsy. The SNL kind of sucked but I'm glad that I did it. After the surgery I was told that thereno evidence of any Melanoma cells in the surrounding tissue nor was it in my lymphnode. YAHOO!!!! Now it's been a month later and yesterday I had my first appointment with an Oncologist. I talked with him and he wants me to have a PET SCAN to make sure that the Melanoma hasn't spread to any organs in my body. SCARY!!! I started crying like a baby but he told he's 85% sure that he won't find anything and that I have an excellent chance that the Melanoma was cured with surgery. But I'm freaking out about the 15% chance that they will find something. Please help me. Do I need to be so scared? Anyone else have this done????? What were your results?
