My mum has just been diagnosed with melanoma in the bowel, has anyone had any experience of this?
Hello Jessydog
I have just read your post and noticed that it has gone unanswered. I can't answer your question myself as I have a different cancer, however by me responding to your post it will be "bumped" back to the top of the forum and I hope that it is seen by other Community members and you receive some replies.
A few ideas I have are
* You could try our Ask a Nurse service to ask about your mum's issue. Again here's a link for you - Ask a Nurse . Please allow a few days for an answer as they get quite busy.
* There's always our support line on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week) they may have some helpful advice for you.
I do hope you get some information for your mum. If i can do anything else for you please let me know.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Jessydog and a very warm welcome to the melanoma forum which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
You say that your mum has been diagnosed with melanoma in her bowel. Do you know if it was described as anorectal melanoma, sometimes also called anorectal mucosal melanoma? If so, Macmillan have this information on how it's treated.
