      Hi all! Hope everyone is kicking Mels A**. I was diagnosed officially as Stage 1b on early Jan. After a wle and slnb, margins came back clear with negative nodes. Primary was 1.5mm on my right upper thigh, no ulceration, but 4/mm2 mitosis. Anyways over the last week I have noticed 3-4 hard little lumps in the middle of my upper abdomen. They almost feel rubbery and seem to move slighty. Could this be mets? I have also had some pain off and on, on my right side upper abdomen. I dont go back to see my surg. Oncologist until 4/5, and am wondering what doctor to call. Any advice would be appreciated.

          i suspect if lumps should show up then it would be ur right groin area. and they would not be hard i guess. so urs might be some skin condition

            1 year after being stage 2b I felt a knot in my upper shoulder drying off after a shower. I immediately knew what it was. I called my onocology surgeon and he had me make the 2 1/2 hour drive then. Within a week the knot was removed, melanoma and pet scan came back with 7 mets in my lungs. If you can not think of any other reason you would have these lumps I would not wait, just me.
