I don't know if anyone currently on board here has had oral melanoma but "in situ", "pre-cancerous", "curable" and "early" sound promising. It's great that it has been picked up so soon. It must have been a relief when the PET and CT scan showed nothing suspicious.

How did you detect it? What sort of treatment will you have?

You will find a lot of comfort on this site. Someone will know about oral melanoma and we have all been through various types of oral cancer treatment. We will help you through:)
