Treatments For Metastatic Melanoma

Subject: Treatments for Metastatic Melanoma
Date: 12/03/2007

My 37 year old daughter is being treated for Metastatic Melanoma of the brain. The treatment consists of excision of the largest tumor, followed by radiation along with the chemo drug Temador on the other tumors. She had a PET scan on Friday and the results showed, in addition to the brain tumors, a leision in the right lower lobe of her lung 1.4 cm x 1.4 cm consistant with metastatic disease. Also a leision 1.3 cm x 0.7 cm in the left carotid space at level C3 suspicious for metastatic ademopathy. Can any one relate to this diagnosis? She is half way through the radiation treatments and is tolerating it quite well. Her Oncologist locally is overseeing her treatments and she is being monitored by her surgeon in Chapel Hill. Is there something else we need to be doing? Thanks. NanaT
