Im 31 with a 7 yr old daughter and a very supportive husband fortunately as it's a really difficult time.
is there anyone else on here that's in the same situation or has been

Hi
I'm sorry to hear that melanoma has been detected in your sentinel lymph node and I can completely understand how worried you must be feeling waiting for your PET scan results. Thankfully you only have another day before you find out and do come back and let us know how you get on.
There are quite a lot of people in this group who are Stage 3 and I'm sure some of them will be along to tell you how they're getting on. The good news is that since September 2018 NICE approved the use of adjuvant therapy for people with Stage 3 melanoma. Quite a few people in this group are currently having this treatment and you could use the search bar to look for previous posts on this topic or start a new post asking for people's experience with these drugs.
On a slightly different topic, how did you get on with your critical illness claim?

We were in the middle of moving house when I was diagnosed with melanoma 2 and a half years ago. With hindsight it was a good thing as it meant I had vast tranches of time when I was concentrating on organising removers, etc and didn't have time to think about the melanoma.
Hope the house move goes well

Hi
I hope you're well.
I was wondering if you'd had the result from your PET scan yet?
