Which marker tests can I use for melanoma?
I was diagnosed with
melanoma
a week ago and had a surgery yesterday. I have not chosen a
melanoma
oncologist yet. My husband has prostate cancer, so before I was interested in Advanced Prostate Cancer community, and they helped me a lot. Now I have my own cancer.

I was diagnosed with melanoma 2 weeks ago
I would appreciate if you give some specific advice how to behave if one has
melanoma
. The surgeon said my
melanoma
looks mild; she will know for sure after the biopsy is done. I don't want to wait until my cancer gets more dangerous.

NMSC- Non melanoma Skin cancer

Skin Cancer is globally the most common form of cancer. 1 in 4 UK males and 1 in 5 UK females will be diagnosed with NMSC in their lifetime - and if diagnosed once, you could have many more!

Acral Lentiginous Melanoma
ALM can advance faster than other
melanoma
, becoming quickly invasive. As people with dark skin tones are less prone to other forms of
melanoma
, ALM is the most common
melanoma
in people with these skin types.

It’s a common misconception that people with darker skin tones are immune to skin cancer
Melanoma
skin cancer in people with skin of colour: Whilst
melanoma
is less common in people with these skin types, it is unfortunately often associated with greater morbidity and mortality.

Sunbeds are a group 1 carcinogen and are known to cause all types of skin cancer, including the most deadly form -
melanoma
. Damage is cumulative, irreparable and bad news at any age, but when used, even once at a younger age (under 35) your risk dramatically increases.

AML update
Shockingly, my husband has been diagnosed with a
melanoma
just last week. He is having scans to see if has spread and we are hopeful. It is so hard being apart at the moment.

Salivary gland swelling.
I had a very early stage
melanoma
removed from my leg 2 years ago but the doc said any swelling would appear in my groin not my neck and both docs said it was not sinister and not related to my skin cancer. Can't help but panic each time I feel this lump on my neck Any ideas and thank you.

When
melanoma
does occur, the most common places a tumour may develop include areas of lighter skin, such as: • Mucous membranes, such as inside the mouth • Under the nails (subungual
melanoma
) • The palms of the hands, the soles of the feet (acral lentiginous
melanoma
) • The anogenital region
