Melanoma---surgery---now Lump In Armpit Posted: 08-21-05 20:22pm
Hi,
i suspect I know the answer to this--but
my father was diagnosed with melanoma on
his arm--he had surgery and they check his
lymp nodes--no cancer--but 5 months later
he has a lump in his armpit--same arm as
the cancer. I suspect that this is bad
news and he is going to the doctor and
probable back to the mayo clinic.
Anyone with experience with this?? I am
sad for my father and I live 12 hours away
from him.
