  • Hello Goldcrest and a big welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    How did the immunotherapy treatment go for you on Wednesday? I really hope that it works well for you and I am so sorry to hear that they cannot operate where the melanoma has spread to which is rather unfortunate. I thought I would share with you some information we have on our website on targeted cancer drugs and immunotherapy for melanoma which I hope you will find helpful and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ring our nurse helpline on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I will also mention our lovely  who knows a thing or two (or three!) about melanoma and I hope that she will be able to offer you some helpful advice or just to share her own melanoma experience. She will definitely sympathise with your "bloody melanoma" comment :) Hopefully you will meet other members of our community who have been affected by melanoma. Have a look too at the MelanomaUK website which might also be a good source of support and specialised information. 

    Best wishes,
