Treatment options for melanoma that has spread to lymph nodes depend on the stage and risk of recurrence. Since you've had 15 lymph nodes removed, your doctor may recommend adjuvant treatments to reduce the risk of melanoma returning. These could include:

1. Immunotherapy: Drugs like nivolumab or pembrolizumab to boost your immune system.
2. Targeted Therapy: If specific gene mutations (e.g., BRAF) are found.
3. Radiation Therapy: To target remaining cancer cells.

Consult your doctor to tailor the best plan for you.
