Have Malignant Melanoma In The Groin Area. Any Harm Due To The Scan?

I had a malignant melanoma on my groin and when I had the scan I could feel a sensation without any pain almost like air pressure coming through a nozzle, I thought this was normal, then the nurse came on the intercom to say that she needed to move the padding and once she had done this I could not feel the sensation, could this have done any harm, I did not question them after the scan.

Hi,
There will have been no harm done due to the scan procedure. There will be air conditioning in the scan room and you may have been feeling the air flow.
