        Forgot to add – she had a PET scan and her right knee and right side of her neck lit up. She has had knee surgery in the past. I am thinking the right side of her neck is probably not related to the melanoma because it was on her buttock and it seems it would show up in the groin and not the neck. Is that correct?

                  Definitely something to get checked out. My friend's neck lymph nodes were a soft swelling and it was positive for mel. So best to get checked out if not just for your peace of mind.

                  Chances are it's nothing but swollen glands fighting off an infection or a cold.

                  Let us know.

                          She has an appointment with a specialist next week. I was thinking it would probably show up in the groin before it showed up in the neck. No one told her that. I know melanoma is a sneaky diesease and does what it wants to do, I was just thinking it might be unlikely to be in the neck. But I guess it can go anywhere.
