@rblegend50 Please let me echo the welcome from @becsbuddy, to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I had a malignant melanoma removed in late 2008, on my right forearm. A beautiful 32 stitch scar from the flap surgery done. Since then I have had many squamous cell skin cancer surgeries, and some basal cell surgeries. No recurrence of the melanoma.

Have they indicated a stage yet of the new mets? Any lymph node screening? Where was his first melanoma removed from? Did they do any check to nearby lymph nodes?
