Hello I am new to the group. Was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma a few weeks ago. Have phone appointment with my oncologist this week when hopefully they can start some form of treatment.
I have no idea what to expect with treatment - will it shrink down the lumps that keep appearing on my body - will I lose weight etc. any help welcome at the moment.
regards
Hi Carol A welcome to the forum. I cant help feeling that the Oncologist is the best person to ask these questions to as we are all different so someone may experience side effects whilst others dont. Can you write all the questions you have down before the call with the Oncologist and then you can be sure you are as well informed as you can be if that makes sense.
Hope it all goes well for you and will be thinking of you.
