  • Hello, and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry to hear about your Advanced Melanoma, and I can understand you wanting to know more to help decide about your treatment options.

    The best people to ask about the benefits of each drug for your cancer are always going to be your hospital team, as they know you and your medical history. However, we have information on immunotherapy and treatments for melanoma on our website and you may also want to make another post to the 'living with cancer' section of the forum. Hearing from other patients who may be going through a similar situation may give you a better idea of the choice you need to make.

    Looking up the three drugs individually on our A-Z of drugs page may also help your decision, but the side effects are likely to be similar.

    Melanoma Focus may be useful, and they also have a nurse helpline if you want to talk things through with them.

    Take care and if you want to talk to nurses on our freephone number do call 0808 800 4040, lines are open mon-fri 9-5.

    Sarah.
