      Hi everybody,

      I posted here once before – my partner has melanoma (original tumour removed in 2017, it is now spread to regional lymph nodes). We are seriously considering postponing surgery and starting with neoadjuvant therapy instead. Our oncologist recommends lymphadenectomy, so does our surgeon (who also removed the original tumour). In order to make a decision that is as informed as possible we will be seeking a 2nd opinion.

      My question is for folks who are in Seattle area – I’m interested to hear your experiences with specific doctors – who would you recommend (or not, as the case might be)? If you’re not comfortable posting publicly, please reach out to me at [email protected]

      Thank you!
      Ryan
