I had my first appointment with Spectrum Melanoma Clinic in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They were awsome to say the least. The did get all of my original medical records since the beginning of my melanoma. I met Sergical Onc, Dermatoligist, and medical onc, and a genetics doctor. It was very thorough. I was very pleased with the whole experience. I did get the results of the altrasound that I had which came back non maliginant non cancerous mass and the 2 moles I had removed were benign. I was finally told for the first time that I am officially NE

I was finally told for the first time that I am officially NED. It was explained to me that the PET scan that I had done would not have picked up the nodual on my lung that they were watching because of the size of it and in there opinion I should have had another CT scan with contrast instead of PET scan which will only pick things up that are a certain size or bigger. They do want another CT scan done in April to re check the lung nodual for change but other then that NED. They said the nodual on my lung is so small that they are not concerned about it at all at this time but they do want to watch it, if it is still there even. Great new to me!!! On with life again with a lot less worry.
