Melanoma lymph node resection on neck

@birdman518 I don't have any experience with this type of surgery. But I wanted to reach out and let you know there are several members here, besides me, and we are sending you our support!

While you will be having that procedure, i will be here in Oregon getting cataract surgery on my right eye. Sounds like we both will be holding down the fort for medical that day!

When will your surgeon talk to you about what will be done for post-surgery treatments?

I am going to hold off on deciding what to do. I may have indicated here previously that I am unlikely to do standard of care treatments. Look up the drug insert for Opdualag, which is what the oncologist recommended. All of the therapies offered damage your immune system. I care much more about quality of life than quantity. I will however look at doing some well-studied (but not approved) therapies such as metabolic therapy... or perhaps something like that done by Care Oncology.
But I greatly appreciate all of the support I get here, and I will keep everyone informed.

On my 6, 2023 I had a Positive for cancer Melanoma removed from my upper back. At the same time they removed 2 Lymph Nodes from my neck area and both were negative. The healing was not painful at all and I was out working in my yard two days later but not using that side so as not to do any tearing! But overall no pain meds just itching close to stitch removal time.
Hope this helps and good luck and God Bless!!!

Thanks, I really appreciate your story!
