Never hurts to get a second opinion. Please be optimistic and realistic--sounds aggressive though. Please hang in there and maybe you can teach others the dangers of melanoma and help others through thier treatments.

I've been dealing with stage 4 breast cancer which was in the lymph nodes as well as my lungs. Everything is gone now. They did have me undergo chemo and radiation, as well as surgery, but I also used a lot of alternative resources that I think helped a great deal, because my doctors were pretty astounded at my progress and final results. Please just check the links below out. I get nothing for passing this info on, so I'm not advertising. I just tried to find some links to explain the different things I had utilized and believe were successful. Obviously everyone is different and there are no guarantees, but I don't think it would hurt to at least do some research and check some adjunct measures to fight against cancer out. Also, I do agree with getting a second opinion. I will be praying for you. Good luck...

It was much easier coming into this realm. I'm facing a similar situation but I don't know my "odds" yet; testing on Lung capacity begins tomorrow;then cardiac etcetera.

My answer to you would be to visit a hospice center and talk with a counselor. If you are saying there is nothing left medically, there is God and He knows your name.

Otherwise, for me, I will vie for Hospice care when the time comes I'm ready for surrender and as a former RN with a Bach. of Science, there is usually a time you will grow weary. The more weary you become the more help you will require and perhaps some company. You will want to be free of pain and retain your dignity until you cross that unseen veil. I hope to write my memoirs on good days and follow docs' orders on days I can get out of my spinal bed. My thoughts are with you and it sounds like either the reality hasn't hit, your in denial, are you are a strong person with their head on straight! CactusLil'

Biden has had an aneurysm bumped off and that's no longer a solid sign of wellbeing--it makes him stroke companies. nevertheless, life expectancy can't be the only standards. I study an editorial in the paper that reported Obama via fact of organic and organic components might have a shorter life span than Mccain. Who knows? each thing has negative aspects. except he has a pressing wellbeing subject which will influence him in his prompt destiny like FDR and his untreated high blood pressure( making him bodily sick) which killed him early in his fourth term as his docs suspected the added stress might. (i do no longer propose those examples to be political basically illustrating examples). in my opinion wellbeing subject concerns that has been dealt with effectively should not count number. The President in straightforward terms has a term of four years.

Sorry to hear about that. Have you tried a second opinion?
