        Hi. I hope your husband is recovering and you are doing well.  What an awful thing for you both.  I was interested in your post because I'm having arm pain in the area of my melanoma it's being treated as tendonitis.  I just had a punch biopsy and it indicated my melanoma is in very early stage so it's not deep. However it's a second occurrence of a melanoma at the same site.  Did you husband have any testing done that verify the tendonitis or was it testing related to his mole which revealed the tumor?

        My surgery to remove the melanoma is not scheduled for a few weeks and I was wondering if I should ask for further evaluation of my arm pain.  Could just be a coincidence that I have tendonitis in the area of the melanoma.  I appreciate your thoughts.
