- My partner found out last year he had melanoma just below his belly button. He had this removed and then found out it had grown into the 2nd layer of skin so needed a larger area removed and lymph nodes removed from either side of his groin. He got the results from his lymph node removal yesterday and one of them has come back with cancer cells detected in it & immunotherapy has been suggested after a CT scan. Unfortunately my partner had to attend his results appointment himself so I think after hearing this news his brain stopped listening to the consultant and he can't remember much else that was said to him and he didn't really have any train of thought to ask questions at the time. We are both now wondering what does this mean? Is there a high chance that because it had spread to one of the lymph nodes that it's spread elsewhere in his body? Does the fact its only in one lymph node make the situation slightly better or does the amount of lymph nodes containing the cells matter? I guess we're both just worried about what all this means for our future as a family with a little girl of 4 years old. I know unfortunately that everyone's situation is different and some things can't be predicted but any sort of insight would be really appreciated.
