          Thank you, my concern was more a recurrence than the stage 0 spreading. I do appreciate your response.

              Thank you, it really helps to read people’s comments. He thinks it is a spot but it isn’! There is definitely something small there under the skin and my concern is raised since reading more about melanoma and arm pit lumps given that he has already had one confirmed melanoma removed. 

              I appreciate your kindness in leaving this comment.

                    Thank you for your kind response, this is all a bit of an education so any information helps. I will certainly make a note of this to ask the doctor once I can get him there.  

                    Wishing you all the best too, I am grateful for your help.

                      Thank you for your response Amie, it helps a lot to hear of other people’s experience with this. I am trying to be vigilant with his health and the dermatologist was really impressed at how quickly we responded to the melanoma on his leg. My husband and I have had another discussion today, he tried to tell me the lump had gone now to prove it was just a spot. Unfortunately I could still feel it and if the only way to know is to request a biopsy I will put this to him also, so thank you for your help. May I ask if your husband had had any previous melanoma or was his lump the first incident?

                      thanks again for taking the time to respond, it’s appreciated.
