        I have had a biopsy and this came back as mets in transit. They said I may need a senital node biopsy and for the plastic surgeons to perform another wider excision. There is an MDT meeting tomorrow when they will decide what will happen. Thank you for all your support x

              Sorry I meant they took 2cm and 1cm was clear in the second operation and they said I was stage three because it had spread into the surrounding skin. Now the GP has called to say that I need my Thyriod blood check re-done as it came back with abnormal levels. Worried now that that could be because it my have spread to my limph nodes. My mind is doing over time and the skin cancer specialist nurse is not at work till the 10th April. Has the Melanoma was on my scalp, if it had spread to my limph nodes would this make my Thyriod levels be abnormal? I know it sounds stupid but it is worrying me.

                Thank you Dessie I have spoke to the dermatologist secretary who said they can not fit me in before and that if it is reoccurring they still could not fit me in earlier. I spoke to skin cancer specialist nurse who just said try not to worry and it is only two weeks to my appointment. Just guess I have to try not to worry till I see him on the 20th.
