3 Weeks Postpartum & diagnosed with Melanoma

Sorry I don't have any advice on how to deal with it. I'm 5 months postpartum and just been told the same. 

Hello, so I went through the same 18mths ago after the WLE and lymph node biopsy I was given the all clear, ask if you can have a PET scan to view your whole body to see if it's jumped anywhere. 18 months later mine has jumped and now I'm going for immunotherapy soon. My case is rare hopefully you will be ok. Also make sure you eat very healthy this helps and keeps you positive. Much love you can do it. 

Hi don't worry to much there is a lot of treatment for it. I was diagnosed in july with 2 a melanoma on my right side of foot. I had a wle, skin graft and slnb of groin. Unfortunately mine did spread to groin lymph nodes but only tiny bits. I had 6 lymph nodes out 3 were positive.  

I was also terrified but feel much better  now. Before my surgery I had to have a mri of head and ct scan which came back clear apart from ovarian cyst which is fine just gets checked every few months. It took 8 weeks to  get my results back from slnb so it is a long journey. 

In October  I got results for slnb they sent me for a pet scan. Then got referred to london to see oncologist and started first cycle of targeted therapy which is oral medication as mine was braf positive to stop it coming back have to take them for a year. And no major side effects yet.  

Do you know how thick your melanoma is mine was 2mm breslow. People are living years with it now. X
