    Your question is pretty wide open. I haven't had Melanoma so I don't know the standard course of treatment. Perhaps if you could say what your doctors may have told you, others can answer with their experiences.

    I wish you the best and least invasive treatment course possible. Any kind of cancer is stressful.

    The best course of treatment in my opinion is surgery. Cut it out if you can. Then follow up with Yervoy and opdivo combo, Keytruda, etc. This is for stage 4 which I have. The lower stages can be treated the same or just with drugs. I think it is always a good idea to cut it out if its
    resectable.

    I haven’t had melanoma. I’m just writing to wish you all the best with your treatments.
