Melanoma

Hello,

 

Last year I was diagnosed with a PT2a melanoma on my right thigh. I had a wide excision and a negative sentinal lymph node biopsy. I went back to hospital 2 weeks ago with a swollen lymph node and a test and PET scan reveled there was melanoma in the lymph node. 

I had full groin lymph node dissection to remove it last week. I get my results next week but the consultant was sure they'd got it all. I'll most likely have immunotherapy or similar.

It's been pretty confusing. I want to make some positive changes in my life, reduce stress, improve diet (I'm already very active) and welcome any tips and things people have found to be useful.

 

  • Hi,

    I'm also a Stage 3 melanoma patient & have been for 10 years. I will send you a friend request &, should you accept it, we can chat by private message. Meanwhile, immunotherapy is having great success so it's looking far better for Stage 3 patients than it was when I was first diagnosed.
