Can A Lump On The Collarbone Be A Sign Of Melanoma?
I was diagnosed with melanoma in 2008 and it was cut out completely, - I have been free of cancer since then. Recently I have been tired without knowing why and have had swelling in Lymph Nodes on my left side - right above my collarbone. My melanoma was on the shoulder, close to that. I am maybe reading too much into this, - but this makes me scared that my melanoma is coming back.

Hello,
* There can be a possible recurrence of the melanoma in form of present lymph node enlargement as mets or else.
* Immediate consultation with an oncologist and getting a biopsy of the current lesion is most advisable to get earliest recovery and cure.

Take care
