      Hi! I’ve introduced myself a long term ago, but here I am again! Originally diagnosed stage 3C in 2013. Had a recurrence in 2015. Just had a biopsy this week and the results are confusing even my oncologist. A biopsy was done of a lymph node that lit up on my last PET scan. The tissue showed no melanoma, but it DID show plasma cells, which he said do NOT belong in my lymph nodes. Does anyone have any information about this? I’ve never even heard of plasma cells. To give you some more info, my recurrence was never 100% determined to be melanoma. All they could say was that I had malignant spindle cells that made up the tumor.
