I was just diagnosed stage 3 melanoma too. Was in good health until my annual skin check in May found arm lesion. Tested positive. Had wide excision of arm which tested negative but sentinel node biopsy was positive. Scheduled to start immunotherapy next week. It’s fitting like a ton of bricks. So fast and I feel too good Beverly in NH
