JayneyLou Melanoma in transit…

Good evening to everyone..

2 months ago l was diagnosed with a secondary Melanoma or a Melanoma in transit.. 

After been in remission from a stage 2 Melanoma 9 years ago I was in disbelief.. I was given 8 days notice to advise i would be having the lump removed plus a full lymph node dissection.. surgery on 22nd Dec… probably a good thing as no time to think about it.. 

So  4 weeks post surgery im starting to feel stronger and looking to next steps.. waiting for surgery results, if i am gene mutation positive and possible Immunotherapy as preventative treatment.. 

sending positive thoughts to everyone

    Hi and many thanks for your positive  reply.. 

    MDT meeting today and then another CT scan followed by appointment with consultant and referral to oncologist to discuss treatment. Almost certain I’ll be offered immunotherapy for -2 months, which I’m nervous about.. 

    Do you have the gene mutation..?
