I had a melanoma on my foot removed nearly 3 years ago followed by a WLE and removal of 2 lymph nodes in my groin, followed by 12 months of immunotherapy.
At my last quarterly scan I was told there was something unexplained in my lung.I then had a full body PET scan and had an appointment with Oncology yesterday.I have been told there is some "activity in a lymph nodea and a nodule in my lung,there isn't anything elsewhere in my body.
They need to do further checks to establish whether it is melanoma or lung cancer, before they agree a treatment plan!.Has anyone had a similar experience?
I have been told that if it is melanoma then I am.likely to have targeted radiotherapy and also Immunotherapy. If anyone can share their experiences I would be really grateful.
I had colitis when I had Immunotherapy last time and I am really worried what would happen this time, but I now need it more than ever!
