Hi, I was diagnosed with an active stage 3 melanoma on Thursday last week and have CT and MRI scans booked for this Thursday. My head and stomach are spinning - it is quite a challenge to realise this is actually happening to me! I have read various articles about the sentinel node biopsy and even immunotherapy and targeted treatment and it feels quite overwhelming at times. I guess it’s one day at a time but it is scary. Does anyone have any tips? Thank you in advance
