Today I was offered adjuvant treatment for low risk stage 3 melanoma. The oncologist mentioned a website with a decision guide but I forgot the name and can't find it online. Does anyone know where I could find this? Thanks.
Hi Chicks1971 and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma. I too was diagnosed with melanoma but as mine was stage 2 I didn't have to make any decisions about adjuvant treatment.
Could I suggest that you join us over in the melanoma group as there are several people having treatment for stage 3 and you could find out how they're doing an ask them about the decision aid.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then post a question or introduce yourself after selecting 'start a discussion' and respond to existing posts by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi Chicks1971, I hope you do join us in the melanoma group, but I thought you might want a quick response. I think the oncologist might mean the patient decision aid in melanoma focus. I will put in a link for stage 3 melanoma for you below.

If I’m wrong and you find something else can you let me know please, as I’d like to have a look.
Best wishes
Take care KT
That was what I was looking for. Thank you very much.
Hi Chicks1971, oh good. You might also be interested in a video from the 2019 melanoma patient conference by Dr Simon Grummett explaining adjuvant treatment, the video went on you tube today, I’ve put the link in the melanoma group if you want to pop over.
Take care KT
