  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the melanoma forum which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    It sounds like you've had a difficult time recently and I know what a worry it is when you find something new. 

    I haven't been in the same position as you but there are lots of Stage 3 people in this group. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list and hopefully one of them will see it.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
