Hello all, I am here because I am looking after my husband. He has at least stage 3 melanoma. They got the primary out by surgery last year but there are secondary tumours, mostly in the groin. They say he has 6 months to a year, which is pretty shocking. It’s a whole new world, all this, and I’m amazed and humbled by all the support there is these days. And how many people are on this road. .
Hi Fortypence and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm very sorry to read about your husband's recent diagnosis and I know what a difficult time this will be for you both. There are quite a lot of people in the group who are Stage 3 along with a few who are Stage 4 and I'm sure they'll be happy to share their experiences of treatment, etc with you.
You might also like to join the carers only group which is a safe and supportive place to discuss your worries and emotions with others who are caring for a loved one living with cancer. If this is something that you'd like to do clicking on the link I've created will take you there where you can then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about about your husband's diagnosis and treatment so far 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.
