I want to add, my PCP checked the spot on my left leg. It wasn’t a mole, but a scar that the tumor came from. He then rushed me to the general surgeon, who did an emergency biopsy then the wide excision and temoval of lymp nodes. He said that I’m cured. My PCP, told me that I.m stage iia, and referred me to a Derm. Through this I’ve learned that are the only one who can keep an eye on things! The Drs don’t seem that interested on follow up w/me. The more that I have read, it says that I need to be checked every 4mos now (2yrs post diagnosed), yrarly chest xray, which I haven’t had for 2yrs! This does change your life forever!!!!!! I’m scared that it will come back!!! I see my PCP for my yearly and my Derm. I want to ask them for chest xray. Is there a blood test I should request? should I also ask for a pet scan? what if thete is something inside that you can’t see?Or should I just leave it alone??? and act like the Dr’s that i’m cured and leave it alone!!!! -
