Please try not to allow your mind to wander to the dark side. I’m receiving immunotherapy for melanoma. Stage 3B. It sounds frightening and it is frightening but you’ll have the cancer removed very soon and more than likely, you’ll be offered immunotherapy treatment.  I met a lady who was having her final treatment last week. I was having my first treatment and scared / fearful about having side effects. The lady had originally had a melanoma removed from her leg ( 6.5 years ago)  Cancer appeared in a lymph node in her groin ( same as I’ve had). Removed and had her immunotherapy treatment. Never had any side effects and looked fabulous. You’ll be well looked after. The care is amazing. Stay positive. I’ve been eating lots of fibre, seeds, nuts, green vegetables and intend to give myself lots of probiotics and make sure of keeping a healthy gut. 
look after yourself. Stay positive and trust in the consultants. The care available to us us second to none. 
May I wish you all the very best and if you believe in prayer, please put your trust in God and ask to have the heavy burden lifted.   That’s what I did and never looked back. Xx

Thank you for your response.   It is so hard isn't it. 3 am seems to be the start of the dark hours for me.  Really trying to concentrate on the next step and not to think about what comes after. 

I am Catholic but not been active for years.  I do pray or talk to God or a saint occasionally though.  Don't think the belief ever leaves you. X

I'm pretty good at eating healthy I agree gut health so important.  Thought I was fit too until this happened.

How are you feeling? X
