I completely understand how scary this is. It has been a roller coaster of emotions the last 6 months. What hospital is he going to? What treatments has he tried in the past? Will he only be doing high dose IL-2 or biochemo? Does he have any other mets other than the lung? Does he have the BRAF mutation? Sorry for so many questions. As you know, melanoma is a strange beast!Jennifer Childress Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890372312833353785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729262484240138040.post-7993514057174680632012-07-06T03:40:27.657-05:002012-07-06T03:40:27.657-05:00My husband 46 years old and father of 3 has Stage ...My husband 46 years old and father of 3 has Stage IV Melanmoma.

His Melanoma has been in stage 4 for 3 years now. MD Anderson has been amazing.The Melanoma moved to his brain over a year and a half ago, but he's still fighting. Melanoma is so scary, but don't give up hope. I'll be praying for your family.mamatreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040947216230858412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729262484240138040.post-17781982356498688042012-06-28T08:56:17.329-05:002012-06-28T08:56:17.329-05:00Like your husband, I have cancer, but the non-aggr...Like your husband, I have cancer, but the non-aggressive form on Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. When I broke my wrist off of my arm, surgery re-attached it with a plate and 7 screws, but my cancer, dormant before this, went on overdrive. NHL does not tolerate implants well, so my cancer spiked. Currently, I am undergoing chemo; the first treatment with a monoclonal antibody did not work. Am beginning to notice signs of remission, very small but very encouraging.<br /><br />Please stay strong; beating cancer is connected to attitude, remaining positive, mentally strong. I am adding your family to my prayers, sending white light. If you are interested in resources, you might want to follow my blog: http://beatingbackcancer.blogspot.com/ because it lists some awesome resources. I also have a cancer page on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beating-Back-Cancer/200842329949101. I post timely articles, resources...which may help you in your journey.
