Hello,
I was diagnosed with melanoma 5.6 breslow, clear wle and lymph nodes, I am close to my 9th pembro immunotherapy, however whilst having 3 monthly CT scans a tumor has been discovered on my right kidney.
Feel fed up as I was so looking forward to finishing the immunotherapy, and now will be having the tumor removed approximately 6 weeks after finishing it and don't know what could happen after it
Urologist and oncologist do not think it's related to melanoma, but won't know until it's removed and tested.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Best wishes to you all
