April 2007, my husband was diagnosed with Melenoma. He acually had melenoma in 1985 found in a mole in his back. The Dr. removed the mole plus surrounding tissue. All was well for 27 yrs; we thought. In April of 2007 it reared it's ugly little head again. He has been diagnosed with legions in his liver, spleen and brain. He has undergone Gamma Knife and CyberKnife to 9 tumors in his brain. The treatment has been hard on him because of where they were found. He has had trouble with his balance so he uses a walker to get around but I have noticed an improvement every day. My husband is also on Temadar and Thalidimide to try to prevent the growth of new and existing tumors. The side affects have been minimal, mainly tired feeling. We have a strong faith in prayers and his family is large and very helpful. He is often stronger about his situation than I am. I am thankful for all of the new Technology and medications that are avilable now. We will continue to do all we can and leave the rest to God.
