Good afternoon everyone 

Feel so worried as what is going with sibling, had his fitst 3 monthly scans last week and got results this week. He originally had metastasis to lungs , spine, spleen , liver, but after last weeks scans he has more lesions on his lungs and now 2 on his brain. Sibling has had radiotherapy on spine and 3 immunotherapies ( stopped as has bad side effects) .

Really not sure how I can help and if I'm honest I also frightened nothing will work . Positivity is what i should be thinking but it's so hard. My own experience was stage 2 A melanoma but now Ned. Anyone else in a similar situation.

thanks for reading 

  • Hello  

    I am Brian one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and replied to by other members of the Melanoma group.

    I think just being there for your sibling and them knowing you are there for them will be very re-assuring and as you say nothing can better a positive attitude and I wish you both well moving forward.

    Best wishes - Brian.
