Recently diagnosed with Metastatic Melanoma. Primary site was not found. I had found a lump growing in my left armpit (Auxilla). Was referred to a surgeon for removal. Lump was removed and biopsied and found to be Melanoma. I was then referred to a surgical oncologist. On Jan 11 he removed all the Lymph Nodes from my left auxilla. 30 nodes removed and 13 have Melanoma. I have had CT scans and ultra sounds. There were no other spots detected.
I now have appointments with a radiation doctor and chemo doctor. I have to decide what forms of treatment I want to follow.

What I am looking for is to find out what treatment works best and what to stay away from. I am looking for some good advise.
