      I was NED since August after follwowing a ipi/nivo treatment at the end of the year 2015. But last week I felt a bump in y left forearm. I had a biopsy done. The pathologist thinks it is a schwannoma ( benign tumor of nerve) but my dermatologist wants to review the specimen with other doctors as it could be a recurrence of melanoma. I have to wait ….

      Anyone has gone through this kind of experience ?

      Thanks,
