Nodule in stomach. I am Stage IIIb (primary on left forearm 8 years ago; left axillary dissection with melanoma in one lymph node in September 2009) and two weeks ago had my 2nd PET/CT scan since I ended radiation therapy in January. The scan was clear, but my blood work showed a drop in my hemoglobin. I had been complaining of stomachaches to my oncologist 2 months ago, so he decided to send me for an endoscopy, which I had today. The endoscopy showed erosive gastritis, and a 2 cm submucosal antral nodule. They are going to send me for an ultrasound to check out the nodule. But if it was malignant, wouldn't it have lit up in the scan? It's 2 cm, so not exactly small.
