Hi everyone, I’ve been stage 4 for 3.5 years. Initially I had melanoma to stage 3 in 2011/12 treated with surgeries. I went 10 years clear but in May 2022 went into hospital with spreads to nearly every bone, muscle and organ in my body. 3 tumours were destroying the left ventricle in my heart but a combination of surgery (3 brain, 2 heart) and treatments (targeted and immuno) has got me to NED. I would say I’ve been upbeat in the main as survival was the only option as a young husband and father of 3 children. But since NED and fI am treatment in August I’ve gone off the cliff with depression and want my old life back. Has anyone experienced this? I’m getting help but I feel other patients will understand better. X
