My name is Laurie my fiancée was diagnosed with malignant melanoma 2 weeks ago he has been coughing up blood for 2 months now finally was sent to a cardio thoracic surgery center a week ago. Now this specialist is putting Keith through everything his regular Dr. Did because he wasn't satisfied with the other Dr. Results he goes for a pet scan on March4 and another biopsy on March 7 and we realize time is of the essence. It saddens me very much to think of life without him and I'm always researching things about malignant melanoma metastasis. I feel they should have already done something for him. Can anyone please tell me what to do he has a malignant tumor composed of nested proliferation of atypical cells with epitheloid appearance and nests present in the overlying epithelium with mitotic activity. And they said it was either metastatic or arising at this site. Can someone please tell me were else we could go and who the best surgeons are for this and what to expect because I see a difference in him every day and I feel the dr. Should be ding more. Thanks to everyone and prayers for all Laurie
