Waiting for test results and for treatment to begin can be difficult. While some people feel overwhelmed with information, others feel they don’t have enough. You need to make sure you understand enough about your illness, the treatment and side effects to make your own decisions.

Treatments for melanoma include:

• Surgery
• Sentinel Node Biopsy
• Radiotherapy
• Chemotherapy
• Interferon
• Immunotherapy
• Isolated Limb Infusion
• Managing Lymphodema
• Palliative Care

You may have one of these treatments or a combination. Your doctor will advise you on the best treatment for your particular melanoma.
