Hello all,
I’ve been very quite, as all is well! I’ve been NED for more than 3.5 years now (stage IIIB, which is a great feeling).
However, I do have a swollen lymph node in my right groin (orginal melanoma on left knee, 3 mets in left groin) for more than half a year now. It has been tested in November (just reactive lymph node), and I had it tested last week again. Again the result is that it’s a reactive lymph node.
The only thing is that it has not been tested for any melanoma Markers.
As there were no cells suspicious for melanoma found in the lymph node, they did not test for melanoma. They did test for Non-Hodgkin as the lymph node exists of almost only lymphocytic cells.
Personally, I find it quite strange if you ask for a FNA and no markers are checked.
Can someone explain please?
Thanks,
Sabine
