Metastatic Melanoma to the Liver

My 65 yr old mom was diagnosed in early March 2009 with a CB Melanoma to her right eye and was treated with radiation plaque therapy at the Wills Eye Institute in Philly.

We found out yesterday that it spread to her liver and is in both lobes, making it inoperable. We are waiting on the complete path lab reports. I was hoping someone new of a treatment that has been successful.

Please let me know and keep my mom in your prayers.

I will of course keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers. But please contact Dr. David Geller at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is one of the best and is successfully assertive when it comes to surgery...doing many that others say are inoperable. That was the case with my dad and 4.5 years later he is doing awesome with no liver recurrence. Dr. Geller will communicate via email, phone, fax to make the prework as convenient as possible. Just tell him Michelle from Ohio sent you! He has helped so many on this board!

I can't thank you enough! I will share this information with my brother and sister in law, who are also extremely involved in the process of finding the best treatment for my mom. Your word and prayers and knowledge are so incredibly valuable. Give your dad a hug as often as you can! He is becoming a source of inspiration for my family. Thanks again.
