I know that you probably never imagined you would need to be part of this group but you have come to the right place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
You'll find a wide range of experiences with melanoma amongst the members here so please feel free to ask any questions.
There are people here who have had wide local excisions (WLE) and sentinel lymph node biopsies (SLNB) as well as people on adjuvant therapies suck as targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
If you haven't posted yet and want to ask a question just click on '+New' or '+' (depending on the device you're using), which you'll see near the top of the page, or reply to this post.
Another way of looking for information is to use the search bar at the top of the page to search for old threads covering what you're looking for.
The online community is here to give support so please join in with posts if you have experience of something mentioned or are in a similar position. Don't feel that just because someone has replied to a post you can't join in. The more shared experiences the better.
Sometimes you might not have any experience with what is being asked about but you might feel that that you know or appreciate what the poster is going through so a kind reply and a gentle, virtual hug is always appreciated.
This post is going to be a 'sticky' so that it will remain on the first page of the discussions list and can be easily found. As you'll have seen I've added a few links to information about melanoma but if there's anything else you'd like adding just let me know.
Completing your profile with something about your journey so far is really helpful. It means you don't have to keep repeating yourself and others know something about your cancer when trying to find people with a similar diagnosis, or before replying. 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.

Hi and welcome to the group although I'm sorry you've had to find us.
When you feel ready you could start a new post to tell us about your diagnosis and treatment so far. If you have any questions we have lots of people with experience of melanoma who will be willing to share their experiences with you.
