First, understand that you have been given a diagnosis - not a death sentence. Melanoma survival statistics describe a group of similar patients… but they may have nothing to do with your chance of survival. Often for melanoma treatment, there is no single answer. You must be an active participant in your treatment. We have a pamphlet titled “Just Diagnosed with Melanoma…Now What?” available online. We can send you this and other materials upon request. We encourage you to visit our online community to talk with patients, caregivers, and their families along with healthcare professionals.
