Hi. I first got melanoma in 2016. Surgically removed from my lower leg and 3 more surgeries for new spots that popped up. Been on immunotherapy for 12 months. Combo now of OPDIVO and Yervoy. Side effects are not too bad. Had big problems with pills prescribed before. My last surgery was in October 2021. I ask myself if I still have melanoma. All surgeries in my left,lower leg. Never spread anywhere else. Pet scans been good, however oncologist continues to remind me this disease can be microscopic and not show up in the scans. Regular visits to the dermatologist reveal no new trouble spots. Their fear, and mine, is I have lots of moles in that area. Have worries about this but luckily not all consuming ( most of the time). Just seems like unless you are dealing with this, not much understanding from others.
