Went to the dermatology appointment today. I asked for my staging. This is pT4b or Stage 2c in normal terms.
They then had a look at all the moles on my body and those I thought were dodgy weren’t but she found a suspicious one on my back. She took a photo and even, I, not a doctor can see it’s not right. I suppose it’s good to have the all round check up. I’m booked in for that one off on 06/11.
They will be scheduling another CT as the last one I had was August.
From the staging, I guess I’ll be getting immunotherapy.
Hi Mel, was your melanoma cutaneous or mucosal. I should’ve been more specific.
Hi
I had stage 2 non ulcerated melanoma mole that was 2.3 on the breslow score and had wider excision and node removal both clear I didn’t have immunotherapy just check every 3 months for 3 years I was diagnosed after 12 week wait from initial removal then 4 week wait for node removal and wider excision that was in June so I don’t think everyone is given immunotherapy unless it’s spread
Good luck hope all other treatments go well
