Jim McClure I am new to this board but I think it is important to say that I went the full holistic approach and my melanoma disappeared. It is more than just juicing and taking supplements but the main thrust I get out of what has happened to me is that I allowed my body to develop the natural cancer killers that actually did tha...t. I was at Stage IV with no ... See Morecure from traditional medicine. I also go to a Dr Walter Lemmo in Vancouver BC for intravenous vitamin C injections and have met many people who were told they had months to live and are still alive and doing very well years later. There is definitely merit in naturopathic medicine.

Debbie Fasano My Dad passed away on May 12th 2009 from Melanoma. It was so terrible to see him suffer from this awful disease. He was first diagnosed 2 years ago surgery was done on the upper part of his chest at that time it was stage 3 melanoma, he also was battling chronic lymphatic leukemia. But April of this year the melanoma... was back like gang busters it was in the brain, spine, lungs. His wish was to die at home. We had Hospice Care for him here. I miss him so much especially now the holidays are so not right without him.
Jayne Fretwell My husband passed away on 13th september 2009 from melanoma, only 9 months after 1st diagnosis (Jan 09) got the all clear from surgery (radical neck dissection and lymph node removal) and radiotherapy in May to find out in August it had spread to his lungs and abdominal lining, they were planning to do chemo but he got... seriously ill very quickly and passed away 3 weeks after being told it had returned, professor patel said it was alot more aggressive than he thought it would have been, as with others on here they never found his primary site. Everyone seems to think it only starts in moles but it can be anywhere, even under the skin. My husband was only 37 so thanks to this awful disease i'm left to bring up my 12 year son on my own

Kathryn Rippley Has anyone here heard of PLX-4032? supossed to be a "miracle" drug for melanoma, with promising results. Still in clinical trials. Type it into your search engine, and see what you find.
Kathryn Rippley Please continue your prayers for my husband, James. He is in MD Anderson fighting for his life. Heavy-duty chemo with IL2, Interferon, Cisplastin, Visblastine, and Temador. The treatment itself might kill him, but he is a real fighter. In seven weeks this monster went into his lung and lower spine, brain MRI is clear, THANK GOD!

Kerri Hayes My father was diagnosis with stage iv melanoma in December 2007. He passed away after battling 6 lesions on his brain in March of 2008. We never found out where the Melanoma originated. My cousin is battling stage II Melanoma, luckily she caught it in time. My family has dealt with Melanoma a great deal the past tw...o years but we are encouraged from this impact to raise money and awareness for this horrific cancer that not many people know enough about. We recently ran the Chicago half marathon and raised roughly $4000. I am continuing to raise funds for all those effected by this disease by running the Las Vegas half marathon. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who are dealing with pain, loss or suffereing from this cancer.
