Hello!  My husband is stage IIIA and he has had SEVERAL scares.  Has had to had several needle biobsies for large nodes and he even had a crainotomy because an MRI showed a cluster of small METS that turned out not to be melanoma at all!!  It was a bit of inflammation from the radiation he had.  His primary was on his ear and his positive node was in the spit gland.  The negative lymph nodes were seen on the CT scan.  We freaked out the first few scares but now we try our very best not to worry about it until it is confirmed Melanoma.  Good luck and I sincerely hope that this is just a scare and all is well!! Take care.

Hello.  My husbands primary was on his ear and they never did an MRI of the brain until he was having awful headaches for longer than a week.  He did then have a brain MRI and it showed what we thought were a cluster of small lesions but after brain surgery it was determined that this was not even melanoma…it was a little bit of reaction from radiation he had to the ear face area.  His headaches went away after recovery from the surgery and about a month after finishing Interferon.  We were told that other than the surgery follow up MRI he would not need any more brain MRIs unless he presented with symptoms.
