Sabr

Hi HelWWFC, I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis, SABR was mentioned to me as an option once if surgery wasn’t possible, it wasn’t offered at my hospital though, it would have been a trip to a London hospital for it. I haven’t had it, surgery was possible for my node but didn’t know if this link would help, you’ve probably found it already.

I am BRAF positive though and I’m on my second month of Encorafanib and Binimetinib, (not all my current melanoma could be removed) in 2015 I was on Dabrafenib (before they offered Dabrafenib and Tramatenib together). These are also offered as an adjuvant therapy to stop things returning. 

Hi KT thanks for the reply sorry for the delay I have not been well. My hospital that did my 1st surgery have already transferred me to another hospital as they have a specialist melanoma oncologist but luckily it's o my a few miles away and Queen Elizabeth in Birmingham will be my surgery or Sabr which is still only 10 miles away so not to bad.I will take a look through the link, all the best going forward to you
