      Hi,

      Husband is stage 3c since 2010. We have been lucky enough to control this disease by surgery, last one in 2011. In 2011 a spot had showed up on his scans (kidney) and we did an ultrasound and found it to be nothing. Fast forward to present and last scans 2/20/14 all clear except spot on kidney. Ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday. Fingers and toes crossed. Can we get that lucky a 2nd time??? Has anyone had this START in the kidney?? I'm usually the voice of reason but for some reason I am feeling pretty shaken. My husband is fine. Need encouragement

      Jewel

          Hey Jewel,

          Sorry you and your husband are having to deal with one more worry.  There are those here on this forum dealing with melanoma involving their kidney.  As far as "starting" there…I'm not sure.  At any rate, the kidneys frequently form cysts that have nothing whatsoever to do with melanoma and I am going to be hoping that is what they decide you are dealing with when you get the results of the ultrasound!!!!  Hang in there!!!  I'll be thinking of you both.  Celeste
