Hello, I am very sorry about what’s going on, I know first hand how difficult melanoma can be. How is he doing after his radiation ? My husbands is a bit different than yours but has reoccurred as well. His is nodular and was on the back of his neck. Surgery was in Nov and he now has it in a node in his neck. The pet scan was done after the surgery which seems sloppy to me , and they found the node, having surgery again in 2 weeks and then Keytruda for a year which is a concern. Is your husbands cancer rated as aggressive? I hope not, ours is but praying for a good outcome.

I sympathize with you and your husband. My husband's is very aggressive. Its like a monster that just keeps coming back. Where is your husband having his therapy? He just had another body check and where he had radiation, the melanoma is back.. He was clear Dec. 30 and middle of January already positive again! Very discouraged and depressed. He sleeps a lot. We are going up to Mayo Clinic March 2 to discuss another option. The Keytruda caused him to have mouth sores, Lichenoid Plantus. Ever heard of it? Very painful so they don't want to give him more Keytruda..
We have another friend and Keytruda was successful for him.
I hope your husbands surgery is successful. And I hope Keytruda works for him. Keep me posted!
I'll be praying and thinking of you.
I'm scared and upset. But I have to act positive for him. I have support from my sisters. Do you have anyone to lean on?
