Hi all. Have just signed up. 8 months ago I was diagnosed with both stage 3 melanoma and CLL and very low immunoglobin levels as well. I am wondering if there are others in the same boat and what your experiences are. I am 60 and feeling great but have concerns about what lies ahead.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    That's great to read that you're feeling great and long may that continue.

    I don't have the experience you're looking for but having more than one cancer is, sadly, not that uncommon. I myself was diagnosed with melanoma nearly 9 years ago and then just over 3 years ago diagnosed with breast cancer. Both have successfully been treated but there's always the worry at the back of my mind about any future recurrence.

    It would be great if you could put something about your diagnoses and any proposed treatment 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.
