Melanoma spread

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    Whilst a swollen lymph node can be concerning it can occur for other reasons such as infection, and although a recurrence of melanoma might be a possibility it’s not a foregone conclusion until further tests are carried out.

    Try to keep an open mind for now until you know more. But I know waiting when you are worried  is stressful.

    I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you want to talk any of this over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
