Has anyone experienced multiple melanoma recurrences like me?

Hey everyone! Just sharing my melanoma journey to see if anyone’s had a similar experience. I was diagnosed with acral melanoma in October 2023 on my heel and went through multiple surgeries, including a skin graft and lymph node removal. Everything came back negative at that time. In November 2024, I had a recurrence near the original skin graft site and had another surgery with lymph node removal, and again, everything was negative. Now in December 2025, I’ve had another recurrence. This time it involves three lymph nodes in my leg and one in my abdomen, and the doctors have classified it as stage 3 melanoma. I’m currently undergoing immunotherapy, with my second treatment on the 16th, and I have another surgery planned for those lymph nodes. I’d really appreciate connecting with anyone who’s been through something similar or has any advice. Thanks so much!

I’m having my WLE on Jan 14th in Pittsburgh also doing a lymph node biopsy praying it has not spread and the biopsy comes back negative The surgeon said he does not believe it has spread.
