Hi Wave

I'm new just wanted to say hello to you all.

I'm currently battling stage 4 melanoma cancer on my lymphnodes that are tucked away behind my stomach.

This is my 2nd cancer diagnosis in 5 years. 

  • Hi Ginge82

    Really sorry to hear about 2 cancers in five years. You are a fighter keep going. Are you having treatment for the lymph nodes behind your stomach? Keep fighting 

  • Hi Ginge82, it sounds like we might have some similarities. My last scan 13/11 shows lymph nodes near my stomach have clustered together to form a mass 97mm by 54mm. I started treatment on encorafenib and binimetinib 2 days before the scan and the 2weeks since being on the tablets have seen a big improvement in how I feel and look. 

    I hope you’re doing ok, have you started any treatment yet? 

    My original stage 4 diagnosis was in 2015 but a lot of that is in my profile which you can get to by clicking on my user name if it’s of interest. 

    Take care KT
