Hi, I’m 63 years old and I had a malignant melanoma removed in September. I had a skin graft and a sentinel lymph node biopsy. I had my results last week and traces of melanoma was found in the lymph nodes. I have a PET scan and a brain scan scheduled in the next week. I am very anxious about the scans and what they might show. I am caring for my husband who is disabled and my son who is Autistic and has severe learning disability. 
I guess I am looking for words of encouragement from people who have been through a similar experience.
