My husband was diagnosed in April 2021 with a malignant melanoma which started as a lesion on the heel of his foot. We naively thought it was just a blister for a while. Fast forward a bit and after 2 heel ops, he was offered immunotherapy.  After 6 months a PET scan revealed it had travelled to lymph nodes behind his knee and in his groin and the immuno had been ineffective. 10 weeks ago, he had the lymph nodes removed.  All seemed to be going well until 5 days ago , just after a recent PET scan, he was admitted into hospital , severely unwell. Scan results have since shown he has extensive disease on his liver, spleen, lungs and chest cavity lymph nodes with it now also starting in his bones. To say I'm broken is an understatement.  He's only just turned 49 last week. And the irony is it's a rare cancer at his age
