CLL and Melanoma

Quick update. Post op appt was Wednesday and my sentinel lymph node biopsy was discussed. Unfortunately there was a small amount of melanoma present in a lymph node. I will likely be offered some sort of Immunotherapy. The news wasn't what I was hoping for, but we will forge ahead and deal with it, I mean beat it!

Wear a hat!

Hi Estate1

Thanks for updating us about your melanoma.

I'm sorry your node biopsy result wasn't as we all hoped for but I'm told immunotherapy is excellent for melanoma and yours will be early so there is every possibility of beating it.

Wishing you all the best

Jackie
