      Came here in April 2018 asking for help after discovering I had Stage 1b melanoma,

      This is me

      This forum was one of my main sources of knowledge on the issue.

      Did not drop by for years, I just tried not to think too much about melanoma anymore, move on, I guess that’s why did not come back.

      After 5 years, not any recurrence. I have had few scares such as swollen lymph nodes or a black spot in the bed nails which turn-out to be nothing.

      Just wanted to drop by so whoever makes a search for “Spitzoid” melanoma or Stage 1B, will know that I am just fine.

      Even writing this post has been somehow difficult.

      Thanks to everybody in this forum, you really helped me a lot, my best wishes for all of you,

          Hi Zap. This really helped me today. I am 5 years out on a spitzoid too but have an enlarged lymph node near the site and have been going in for periodic scans with one coming up soon. I am filled with anxiety and fear. Thanks for sharing your story with us. It helps to know there are others that understand. All the best to you.
