Melanoma

Hi everyone,

This is my first post and right now I just don't know where to turn. I had a positive SLNB and now a node has popped up and I'm so so scared. The node has cancerous cells, I've had a PET scan ans meeting specialist next week. I just keep thinking that I'm going to die. I keep thinking about my young children with no mother. I feel awful for my husband, he's trying to be so strong and I just can barely get out of bed.

I'm really taking this hard, I feel like I'm in a black hole

Hi - I've had moles removed but to date they have only been dysplastic. However, I do have a family member who is a veteran Stage 3 survivor (breast cancer). I'm going to flag your post for the attention of some forum members who are at similar stage to you with regard to melanoma. Hopefully someone will get back to you in the next couple of days, help pull you up out of that black hole. There seem to be a lot of new treatments around nowadays so don't despair.

Also if you click on the first two profile links above you can look at discussion between Tash and Kieron about metastatic melanoma gone to lymph nodes. Should help you feel more positive. I'll also try and copy that discussion in here to make it easy. X
