Newly diagnosis

Hi Vick29 and a very warm welcome to our corner of the online community

I'm really sorry to read how your husband is feeling after being diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma. It's natural that he's reeling after this news and that he needs to talk to someone. Can I suggest that he joins this group as he can then chat to other stage 4 melanoma patients.

Thank you. I will suggest this to him

firstly I want to say I am sorry to hear of your husbands diagnosis.
I had stage four metastasised melanoma it was in my groin the mass was about Five inches it was removed with lymph nodes . It was also in my pelvis .ehich could not be removed  . The mass in my groin was a kilo when removed . . I had immunotherapy. It went on for a year . I finished as Covid took hold my last couple of treatments were doubled up .I  had a good outcome I’m still here and my melanoma is stable it’s been over 5 yrs now . I Still have checks but this yr have stopped any further scans 

I hope this gives you hope immunotherapy worked for me wishing your husband all the best in his journey with this . As for talking to someone  I was able to talk to someone while I had treatment at first in a room one to one but then because of Covid we had to chat while I had my treatment  wearing masks and keeping distance  . There are people who can help you just need to reach out . Tell him to tell someone how he feels if there anything I can help with please feel free to reach out to me if I can answer  will.

 Always try to be positive. I feel for your husband and for you my hubby was my rock taking me to every appointment. Having to wait in the car park when Covid came . Sadly I survived my battle but he is now gone . totalling to each other is key . This affects you too . There are places we have here to drop in for help with other things we have Maggies .things that make this jjourney harder. Knowing where to turn .its for you too because this affects you as well 

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Very much appreciated. 
it’s reassuring to hear that it worked for you, so happy for you. 
Thank u I will reach out for some help.
