My fiance was just diagnosed with stage IV melanoma. He orginally had a large mole on his back removed 6/12 that was malignant. They did a cential node biopsy for 2 nodes at that time also. Everything came back cleared, no evidence of any remaining cancer.
My fiance was just diagnosed with stage IV melanoma. He orginally had a large mole on his back removed 6/12 that was malignant. They did a cential node biopsy for 2 nodes at that time also. Everything came back cleared, no evidence of any remaining cancer.
Now, 7 months later, he has been told the melanoma has spread to his lungs, liver, kidney, adrenal glands, spleen and testicle. We are both devastated with this news. The outlook is grim. They are waiting for the Braf Mutation test to come back before they proceed with any treatment. Doctors have told us there is no cure, only so many different treatments to go through until he becomes resistant to everything.
There's got to be a better outcome. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
