I would like to know if anyone has had a procedure other than surgery for a nodular melanoma. I am old and have hyper-extending back bone joints up my whole spine. The melanoma is right next to my backbone. I have not been able to fine an alternative that will protect my backbone. It is also an NRAS and not suitable for most immunology Tried several surgeons and radiologists.

Thanks. I have also read that 90% of people with melanoma live 5 years, with or without treatment .... so ... at my age I guess I am OK!
