She can but should not get pregnant.
If a woman has melanoma she will have to have surgery. If it is a superficial lesion she will be at a lower risk of recurrence. If it is a deep lesion or there is already metastasis of the tumor then it would be even more foolish to get pregnant. Chemotherapy may be needed and this would harm the fetus and might even require abortion. Pregnancy also decreases a woman immunity and may promote recurrence. After successful treatment she might consider it after consulting her ob-gyn doc.

Sure it is possible to get pregnant having melanoma, another thing is the convenience of doing it.
It is advised to women in reproductive age under a melanoma treatment to avoid pregnancy since the hormones released in the process might trigger or get a worst prognosis to the skin cancer you mention.
It's up to the mother to decide what to do once is informed about the risks of getting pregnant, unless they were declared cured after a complete treatment .

Has the melanoma been successfully treated? Did you have any x-ray treatments to lower abdomen or chemotherapy? All these factors have to be considered.
