What to expect treatment of malignant melanoma with mets?

Posted by rblegend50 @rblegend50, Jun 1 3:35am

My healthy 65 yo husband has malignant melanoma- had the big lesion removed 2 yrs ago. Clean PET scan, then 2 yrs later- Mets to lungs etc. Anyone want to share their experience?
What to prepare for?

Yes the system is busy and overworked. Perhaps we may chat since it is the same cancer center

We should chat. How do we do that? This forum hard to figure out.
