What to expect with treatment of melanoma with metastasis?

Colleen, I very much appreciate your reply and apologize for my delay in responding. I was at the hospital with a COPD exacerbation & my daughter had emergency heart surgery. All your points are true, I was doing well with smoking cessation, then my daughter’s surgery got me smoking again. I’m sure I can do it ! I did check Harvard’s mindfulness program, unfortunately it’s not virtual but I’ve found other reputable ones. I guess my main problem is that my oncologist is insisting this be done asap! I’m terrified of the needle biopsy combined with severe COPD. I’d prefer a pulmonologist robotic one but am unable to get my dr. to arrange for it..my research shows it to be much safer. Do you have any information on a regular Interventional Radiologist’s needle biopsy? I have little time and am truly scared. Anything you can lend is so appreciated. And again, I’m so sorry for mt delay in responding. You are very kind. Thank you and will hope to hear back from you.
