      Hi everyone. Thank you all for your great contribution and support through this forum. I have learned much more than I could’ve by searching random sites.

      In July I was diagnosed with Stage 1a Mel on my right forearm (.2mm Breslow, Clark level 2, no ulceration) and had it removed via WLE August 1st(clean margins). A couple of months after I had a CT scan of my chest area or served by my primary after feeling some tingling/numbness on my left armpit(opposite side of my Mel).

      A month ago I was told results came back clean, but was just informed by my dermatologist there was a small 3mm module found on my right lung that the tech was not concerned about. She would like me to have another CT before our next appointment(5 months). Should I push for a scan earlier? Anyone have any experience with Stage 1 showing up in lungs without any sign on the armpit lymph nodes?

      Sorry for any typos. Typing from my phone.
