I found a pea size lump just at the top of my right groin. My first words was “oh no” they said it may come back but I wasn’t expecting it 4 months after my immunotherapy treatment pembrolizumab. I was hoping for a bit longer before I faced that news. Had the lump removed on the 16th and the results on the 29th and there was melanoma there. On the 25th September I also had a pet scan as they were concerned about shadow on my lower spine. Had the results back today. I may have said some this before but writing it down, helps me put things in to perspective. The melanoma is not in my lower spine, it’s in my pelvis and in the muscle in my bottom right cheek and near my bowel. I was so upset that I couldn’t take it all in, the consultant didn’t sound very optimistic over the phone, all I heard was it possible could be terminal and worst case scenario a month or so, I was not expecting that at all. Has anyone had it spread to those areas of the body and what treatment was offered if any. I trying to be positive but it’s a little hard to take in.
