      Hello, 

      My husband was diagnosed last week with anorectal melanoma after having surgery to remove what his doctor had thought was a benign polyp removed from his anus. We have our first appointment with an oncologist tomorrow. I've been reading a lot online, and it all looks pretty scary and complicated.  I'm hoping to connect with others who have experience with this rare diagnosis.

      Thanks!

      JW

          Hi JW, in case you're looking for another very informative forum, there is a Facebook group dedicated to support for patients and caregivers experiencing mucosal melanoma which includes anorectal melanoma.  Just search for "Mucosal Melanoma Warriors"
