Melanoma stage 3

Offline RachelY 9 months ago

hello - just been diagnosed with stage 3 A melanoma. Found in sentinel lymph node. Melanoma removed. Because i’m being treated for breast cancer I’m already having immunotherapy with three months left. The oncologist said that was good for the Melanoma. Been for MRI of brain and CT of lungs and liver. Now waiting for results. Last PET scan in September for the breast cancer was clear.

all feels so overwhelming

Hi RachelY,

I hope you are getting on OK - this sounds like a lot to deal with. I hope that it's not long to wait for your results.

I wanted to send a reply to your post to give it a little boost, so more people should see it and hopefully you'll get some more replies.

We are always here for support if ever you need it.

Wishing you all the best,

Hello! Good luck with op. I’ve finished immunotherapy now so get scanned regularly. Next us September. Getting on with life and trying to enjoy every minute! Remember that lots of people have stage 3 for many many years. And treatments are improving all the time xxx
