Stage 3 melanoma

I believe that I have stage 3 melanoma, I have had a mole removed from my ear which had died and regressed inwards,  I recently also had a neck disection and a parotid gland removed there was melanoma cells in four of the lymph nodes and in the gland. I have now been given information about two different kind of treatments dabrafenib and trametinib tablets and the other one is nivolumab and was wondering if there is anyone with any experience with any of these type of drugs

    Hi Boardercollie,

    I have experience of these treatments. I will send you a friend request & when you accept it I will send you a private message. 

    Best wishes,

    Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient)

    Hi I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma in March 2017. I had 3 rounds of immunotherapy (nivolumab) and the tumours in my abdomen are inactive at the moment but I do have a tumour further up my abdomen that it hasn't worked on so starting a clinical trial next week to hopefully get rid of the ***. So fingers crossed you get great results. Tina.
