HI Fannie, 

Thanks for your reply. Mine showed a uptake in the knee that had grown 50 % since a PET scan a year ago. Then My oncologists ordered a MRI of the knee. They still cannot tell what the mass is so I am having it removed Feb 1st. If you are at all conserened I would ask for a MRI so that they can take a closer look.

Stay Well,

Jean

Hi Josh,
Thanks so much for the information. I met with the orthopedic surgeon today at Syvestor. The next step is to schedule my surgery for the removal of the mass. He thought that the chances were slim that it was melanoma. It could be a fatty tumor or several other types of cancer. We won’t know until the biopsy. I’m voting for the fatty tumor.
It sounds like you have had a incredible journey with all of this. I pray that you find complete recovery and hopefully can walk without pain again.
It’s such a crazy disease. Mine was originally on my shoulder and had spread to my lymph nodes under my arm. That was 2007. In 2011 it had spread to my lung. I had half my lung removed and have had clear scans since until now. Seems like I’m always looking over my shoulder so to speak. I have met a lot of amazing people and have been blessed with support. I still wish it was 2007 and I had never heard of melanoma…
Please know that I will pray for you and wish you all the best.
Xo,
Jean

Was yours on the suface or in the knee? Mine is a mass growing in the knee.  I was wondering about the treatment and what they were able to do?
