My mother has just been diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic melanoma. The latest scans are showing lesions in her liver, lungs, behind her kidney, some bones and the muscle in her eye. My family is trying to plan some trips for her and family gatherings, but it is hard to know how quickly we need to plan these. The doctor told her she would have 6-12 months, but I see her going down fast. She can barely eat anything and we are trying things like Ensure, etc. just to keep up her strength. She gets very tired easily and has lost 35 pounds in the last 4 months. I'm just not sure what to expect and/or what websites I can find information about this stage and what to expect. I appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
