3.6.2021 – I had melanoma surgery about four years ago in my upper left arm. It left a long vertical dent in my arm. I can use only my let arm for injection because of lymph node removal in 2003 due to breast cancer. The arm is also swollen in that area since the surgery. The first injection was given several inches above the scar, and about a week after the shot I developed a rash on the area of the shot, which is common. This rash, however, developed in the sea of the surgery. Its fairly large. The second injection was given much closer to the scar. The injection was given on March 4 about 2 pm. Im concerned that somehow the injection didnt work. That even though its intramuscular tha somehow it leaked into that area. Im going to call my doctor on Monday.
