Also Have Lung Melanoma, Anybody Else?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Adelaide, AU

Just as I started induction chemo for multiple myeloma, a lung biopsy revealed I also have lung melanoma. In my state in Australia there are apparently only 3 or 4 of us being treated for both. I am now having immunotherapy for the melanoma. During induction, the dosage of steroids had to be lowered because of the conflict wth the melanoma, Immunotherapy was suspended during stem cell transplant.

Hi Paula. To be honest I can't remember, only that it was the last test I had when I was in hospital.

Hi Janet. I had two thin melanomas removed from my neck about 5 years ago (took 3 surgeries), but they still don't know if this is what caused the secondary melanoma in the lung 5 years later. My symptoms for myaloma was feeling off and insatiable thirst. Thanks for your kind wishes

Hi DavidAdams. I also live in Australia & I have had a Melonoma. The Melonoma was on my back. It was cut out at a deep level and I’m fine now. I’m interested to know what symptoms you had? Also I am very sorry to hear of your diagnoses. I hope your treatment works. What part of Australia are you living in. I live in Adelaide, South Australia. All the best.

I’m sorry to hear that. It’s hard enough dealing with one diagnosis. I read that it is very rare. May God be with you.🙏🏻🌈💫
