      Hi- stage 3b and have had wide excision, snb and clnd. Started yervoy in Jan. Stopped due to uveitis. Noticed an egg sized lump about 9inches from the primary (in arm near crook of elbow). Doppler ultrasound found a solid mass with internal and peripheral blood flow. The dr ordered PET, CT and MRI. No results yet. Looking for thoughts as to what this is likely to be. Thank you.

          My first thought is ,why not take a biopsy, to see if there is any melanoma present!!!!
