Hello, Just an update. My PET scan results better than I was expecting. Some activity showing in the nodes around clavicle areas and activity in right pelvis but not sure related to scalp melanoma. Require CT scan of pelvis. Treating as stage 3. Plan: wide local excision of what is left of primary lesion (already known to be greater than 7mm depth) and the 5 progressing satellite lesions. Seeing plastic surgeon 1/4/2026 and surgery within 4 weeks. Then immunotherapy. Whilst this is better news than I was expecting by the time I have surgery it could be 7 weeks since the PET scan and then another 2 - 3 months before starting immunotherapy. Feeling anxious about the length of time to treatment and risk of spread in that time. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience of similar with high risk type melanoma. Thanks for reading.
