Suggest Treatment For Melanoma On The Foot
four years ago I had melanoma on foot surgically removed no follow up was given to me. recently I except lymph node removed from groin found to be cancer free. Recently I discovered lump in groin first needle biopsy negative lump then removed and found to be melanoma. Had PET scan found many spots in leg thought to be melanoma. No treatment but doctor wants to do another biopsy on leg. I also had MRI Brain shows no signs. Why would he have to do another biopsy??
