        I certainly understand your fear.  Contact your primary first. They should be able to help you.  It could be something totally a fluke, like sleeping in a weird position.  With the itch and bruising, my mind would have worked like yours though, too.  

         

        Go in to one of your doctors, and please, keep us posted!

              ugh. hearing about melanomas that have then spread are scary!

              wonder what kind of testing they had done 2 yrs ago when it was 'just' on the skin and if there was anyway they could have known then they maybe didnt get it all – if thats the case.

                                thank you! I could understand it if it were closer to where the lymph nodes were removed, instead of being a couple inches over…. that sort of confused me…

                                Of course, I just had my follow up with her on Friday, then of course the bruising feeling started yesterday and today, lol

                                The good news is they removed 5 and all were clear!
