Hi im new here
Last may I was told I had advanced melanoma in my neck. I had surgery to remove it and everything went well. As I had to symptoms I declined treatment and was scanned every 6 months.
I had a scan in February which showed it was back in a different area. I had surgery last week and will be starting immunotherapy next week.
Firstly, it looks like my wound could be infected and may need antibiotics. Has anyone had antibiotics and still received treatment?
im due to fly to America 5days after my first lot of treatment for 3 weeks, so i can’t really delay it a week if I need antibiotics!
secondly - realistically how long after does symptoms start. They told me I should be fine for my holiday as most of the time symptoms start after the 3rd round.
