Hello folks. It's (thankfully) been a while since Ive been on here, but as of late, I hadn't had a need to worry. But…in the last few weeks, I've noticed some obvious regrowth at one end of my scar, it's a very raised, blueish nodule… Also, the lymph node right under my ear has almost doubled in size just over the weekend. (ear being primary site) Please read my profile for more primary info.
My lesion began as "severe atypia", but with a 'differentail diagnosis' of Level 2 stage 1A…. HOWEVER…
I did not get a thickness until AFTER the initial biopsy, AND the full excision. So when I finally got a thickness from the path report after the 3rd report, of .8mm, it has already been chopped up twice.
Possible it could have started as a greater thickness? Possible surgical-enduced spread?
They did not deem SLNB necessary at the time, but now I wish they had.
What else could this be? Should I be worried?
I am seeing my primary family doc tonight.
