My husband has stage 4 melanoma cancer and it's spread to lymph nodes and lungs he is due to start treatment soon of a drug going in a drip in his arm what are his chances
I am very sorry to hear about your husbands situation and appreciate what an anxious time this must be for you both.
I'm sure you are aware that every patient and their cancer is different and also how any one responds to treatment will vary as well.
It is impossible at this point in time for anyone to say how your husband will get on with his treatment but it is worth asking his team what his chances are.
The introduction of immunotherapy treatment for melanoma has in many cases improved and extended the lives of patients, but their are some patients whose benefit will sadly be much less. As I have said until the treatment has started and is monitored no one can predict what a particular patients response will be.
I'm sorry we can't be of any more help on this occasion but do get back in touch if you have further questions or would like to talk things through. The nurses are here on the helpline on 0808 800 4040, week days 9-5, so do call us if you prefer.
