Second melanoma- in situ

Morning forum

Have been diagnosed  with a melanoma in situ a few weeks ago. This is my second melanoma, the first one was nodular on my scapular, the latest one is in situation. They have been diagnosed 2 years apart. Consultant follow up is in 2 weeks and was wondering if anyone can think of any questions to ask about multiple primary melanoma.

  • Hi Tallguy,

    I'm sorry to hear this - I hope you're getting on OK, and I'm glad to hear the appointment isn't too far away.

    Really the best questions are those that answer any concerns you have. For example if you are concerned about the recurrence, you can discuss any possible reasons for this, if appropriate. You can assume the consultant will give you all the important information regarding things like next steps. Make a note of any questions you do have so that you can talk everything through.

    It's good that you are looking to prepare well for the appointment. Hopefully you'll receive further replies here soon, especially if others have similar experience or suggestions for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
