What to expect with treatment of melanoma with metastasis?
My healthy 65 yo husband has malignant melanoma- had the big lesion removed 2 yrs ago. Clean PET scan, then 2 yrs later- Mets to lungs etc. Anyone want to share their experience?
What to prepare for?
I’m an RN with realistic expectations.

Hello @rblegend50 and welcome to the Cancer support group on Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found this forum. I found this forum when I faced with my third surgery for a rare form of cancer, so I understand how helpful it is to find others who have walked the same path.
We have a few other discussion groups where you can read about the experience of other members who have been diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Here is a link,

and

I would also like to invite @gingerw, to this discussion who might be able to offer some additional information.
Has your husband been offered any treatment options at this time? Is surgery planned?
