@marywc, I can imagine that you and your daughter and family are reeling with this news. I'm tagging a few other members who have experience with melanoma and for some melanoma that has recurred internally like @0716 @meg4434 @sunflower319 @gaybinator @jrc3vette @birdman518 @besissy @secondhandrose

Here are a few questions I might suggest as you prepare for the upcoming appointment:
- What stage is the melanoma?
- What treatment options do you recommend?
- What are the side effects and benefits of each treatment option?
- Is immunotherapy effective?
- Should we consider a clinical trial?
- What are our next steps?
What questions do you have and are afraid to ask, @marywc?

Thank you so much, Colleen. This is all extremely helpful. A few days before we the doctor called my daughter with the results of the biopsy I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell carcinoma on my Forehead. I have two Moh's procedures scheduled in September AND a breast biopsy in September.
