Hi all! New here, and would absolutely love some advice and perspective from yourselves!
My fiancé has recently been diagnosed with a stage 3 melanoma on his foot, that has now advanced to his lymph nodes. He's booked in for surgery a week today to remove the cancerous cells on his foot, and remove the lymph nodes in his groin on his left side. Following this it seems he'll have a drain in and then progress to some drug treatment/immunotherapies, but he's only being referred to oncology following his surgery.
Plot twist is that we're getting married next month, but our friends and family don't know. This was always the plan long before the melanoma came along, so we're having a big party next year to celebrate which everyone else thinks is the wedding! Regardless, it's made it more stressful now with trying to plan and sort the wedding alongside getting my fiancé through this period! And there are also fertility issues which are being looked into. So quite a bit going on!
Regardless, as we're so early in this process still and we know nothing in the grand scheme, I'd love to pick your brains a little!
1. In regard to treatment following surgery, what has everyone's experiences been? We have no idea what he is to expect where we have no contact with oncology yet, and would love to find out a little more from yourselves!
2. Honeymoon! Obviously with the sun avoidance during peak hours being such a big factor our previous sun holiday plans have been scuppered a little. He's still suggesting we could do it but with him indoors during peak hours alot, but given it's our honeymoon, I want to spend as much time with him as possible. Does anyone have any abroad holiday ideas, that are feasible with skin cancer? Budget would be around £4k
Thank you!!
