Hi, my husband was told yesterday that he had stage 1b melanoma cancer. In all the searches I have done there is no information on Stage 1a or Stage 1b, is 1b really Stage 2?
I am sorry to hear that your husband has had a melanoma removed.
Stage 1b is still within stage 1. We have some information about melanoma staging that includes information aboutStage 1b.on our website.
Also, the British Association of Dermatology (BAD) have information about melanoma Stage 1b which you can see on their website.
I hope this helps. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
