Happy to find this site (through my daughter). I have Stage IV melanoma, they are not certain where it started, but it is in my brain, lungs, lymph nodes, kidney, pelvis, etc. Getting reeady to start high dose Interleuken-2 therapy in a week or so. (They first have to use the "gamma knife" to radiate the lesion in m...y brain). If anyone has experience with IL-2, I would be interested to hear any comments??? Thank you!Read More
Kathryn Rippley My husband is fighting Stage IIIc Melanoma in his neck. 6 weeks after radical neck dissection, more lumps in his neck. Will find out this week if more surgery, radiation, chemo? More people need to be educated about this deadly form of skin cancer.

But study did not find effect on overall survival
Karen Roberts Philly was a good time with a lot of awesome people; so many perspectives and great ideas were shared. I think this could be the spark that "lights-up" the melanoma awareness effort we so desperately need.
Judy You are in my thoughts and prayers Colleen.

My stepfather was diagnosed about three months ago with Malignant Melanoma Stage IV. They were in the hospital to run some tests to see if the Chemo has touched the tumors, they have grew. Due to his coronary heart disease, no surgeries can be done or other chemo's as their side effects are heart attacks. He had an eme...rgency surgery done while in the hospital, due to a part of his small intestine entering his large. He recovered, and they are finally home. The oncologist said about 3-6 months, but I believe God works miracles, and I believe Brian is the strongest man, dad, bestfriend, that I know. Please pray, please...pray.Read More
