Started Opdivo as a Adjuvant this past thursday for Stage 3c.  After 1st treatement no real side effects to report. maybe a bit tired … but not uncommon for me at times.  I am doing 13 treatments 1 time every 4 weeks. next one is june 7th.  wishing all of the best!

Sorry for you news.  I was at the same spot you are now at the end of March of this year.

2.9 mm deep, calf, High metotic rate (12.)  I had the SNB, 2 nodes, came back negative.  For now I guess I only have to routine exams by my Dermatologist.

Try not get to far ahead … It is difficult… but wait for your staging. 

I don't post as much as I read here … but my experience is much like your husbands.  first diagnosed March 28th 2015.  I was refered to U of M.  Dr Cohen did the WME and the SB. Procedure completed the end of May.  My expericence with U of M and Dr Cohen was great.

more details:

breslow 2.9, no ulceration, mitotic 12.  To date no nodal involvment.

Wishing you and your family the best!

mdoh,  you are about right where I was two months ago. My stats from the path, as I stated, earlier, are similar to yours, even a little worse.  I remember the stress and fear of worst case possibilities.  My derm told be worrying is counter productive and changes nothing … easy said … and true…. but difficult just the same.

I found this sight to help me cope.   knowing what my diagnoses could bring for both good and bad outcomes.  Although I do think we are all different.  I actually expected a worse outcome.

To answer your question… I waited a long 6 days for my SLNB results as they have to go to pathology, but my surgical oncologist did comment right after the procedure the nodes looked good.

Can I ask what part of your leg is your primary and what hospital you going to?

Sorry for the delay in replying to you question.  I landed at 2A stage.  Feeling very blessed and praying for others dealing with the battle.

I had blood tested for LDH which was in normal range.  Did not need a PET but did have chest xray done also normal.  As Jenner stated mitotic rate was counted from the biopsy.  As it was explained to me…the level of screening is determined by staging starting with biopsy, WME, SNB.
