  • Hello Pass,

    Thanks for contacting us. I’m Gail, one of the Cancer Information Nurse Specialists on the Macmillan Support Line. You may also find our melanoma forum useful.

    Unfortunately, we have no access to your NHS records and I am unsure whether you are seeking information about the scan or planned treatment, to be given every three weeks for your melanoma. We would need to know the name of the treatment that’s been discussed with you.

    You may find it beneficial to contact your Oncology Nurse Specialist or Keyworker, who can access your records and explain things in more detail.

    Please get back in touch with more detailed information and we will be able to help.

    Best wishes,

    Gail

    Cancer Information nurse Specialist
