Lung cancer

hi, I’m just looking to see if anyone has any advice or similar stories, my dad had penile melanoma, which unfortunately spread through his blood to his lung, he’s having immunotherapy, he had a scan before he started treatment and the cancer had grown 1/2 a cm,,he’s had 6 sessions of treatment and a recent scan but we won’t get results until treatment next week, this last week he’s had awful pain in his back,do you reckon the cancer could of spread that quick? I’m hoping and praying that it’s more of a muscular problem and it hasn’t spread, thank you for reading

    I'm sorry to read that your dad's penile melanoma spread to his lung but I'm glad that he has been able to undergo treatment for it. Hopefully some of our members who have been in similar situations will reply soon but do feel free to have a look around the forum and connect with others using our 'search forum' option in the blue bar above. 

    I'll have my fingers crossed the results of his latest scan show that the immunotherapy is helping to treat the cancer.

    Best wishes to you both,
