Hi! It's my first time here. I'm 57 and recently diagnosed with melanoma. Mole already removed and sentinel node as well. Biopse stated the melanoma was grade 3. I had a PET SCAN revision and no metastasis were found.
Next week I'm having a complete videodermascopic revision. The oncologist told me to undergo ecographic check every 3 months and Tomographic ones every 6 months.
As Ronnie stated we didn´t use to care much about the sun when we were children, it was not an issue people in general were talking about. I don´t even know if sunblockers even existed.
I am not undergoing any treatment just those control procedures I mencioned.
Hope you are doing well!!
