I’m really unsure what treatment to have Targeted or Immune Therapy

Evening 

Today I have been advised to have either have targeted or immune therapy.

I have opted for targeted treatment.However I came home and read up on both and now I’m unsure which is the best for me.

I have stage 3 BRAf mutation melanoma.

  • Hi dawniebobbins,

    I'm not a nurse but I have been a stage 3 Braf positive melanoma patient for many years so I just wanted to pop in & speak from a personal viewpoint.

    I was diagnosed before adjuvant drug treatments were made available to Stage 3 patients in 2018. However, I know several Stage 3 patients who have been in the same position as you & had to make an informed choice. As you have a lot to weigh up when looking at each treatment, and each patient is different, I think it's easiest to help share other's experience by chatting by private message. I've sent you a friend request - if you accept it I can then share fellow patient's experience. I hope this helps,

    Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)
