Great PET scan:-)

Hello Friends, Just wanted to thank you for your prayers and support.  I was very anxious about this  PET scan I had last friday, especially after watching my best friend pass away from melanoma just two months ago.  we started out at the same stage so it was very hard and I was nervous that it could be spreading inside of me.

Hello Friends, Just wanted to thank you for your prayers and support.  I was very anxious about this  PET scan I had last friday, especially after watching my best friend pass away from melanoma just two months ago.  we started out at the same stage so it was very hard and I was nervous that it could be spreading inside of me.  Anyways thankfully my PET scan showed" no hypermetabolic uptake in the lung nodule or hilar lymph node at this time."  I'm so super excited about this news and just wanted to share it with the rest of you:-)  I go today for surgery to do a 5mm wide excision of a severly atypical mole (this is my 5th I think atypical area having excised) that wasn't fully excised during biopsy and i'm a little nervous about that but very thankful after today I don't go back to the dr until June:-)  Much love to you all,

Alicia B. stage III(+SNB) interferon, 3 primary melanomas (stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3) and 5 atypical lesions…….but who's counting;-)
