Hi there, my husband had skin cancer which was removed in early sept with skin taken from neck and added to head..he has also had an MRI scan on his head and neck and was all clear! Just a few month on he was saying he could feel a lump just above scar in neck and been for follow up and again all fine, but with pulling and pushing this area it seems to be getting bigger..any advice apart from me telling him to leave alone he is also suffering bad from hay-fever and wondered if this was anything to do with lump?
Dear Ma'am, Sorry to hear about your husbands' problem. From your description it looks as if he had the cancer in his scalp and skin was transferred from his neck to the scalp. If he has now developed a lump in the neck, it should be evaluated as it could be a lymph node. It might turn out to be reactive (due to hay fever) but considering his history of cancer, it is best to get it evaluated. Hoping for the best.
