my husband has recently been diagnosed with stage IV melanoma. He had a random seizure (very bad) at home, thought he had a stroke, he is 49, there was a very large bleed on the brain, where they found he had a large tumor in the right frontal lobe (about the size of a ping pong ball)
the cancer has spread from mole on back to lymph nodes under arm, to lung, to node in collar bone, to brain.
he just recently had a new mri and there is another lesion in PONS of brain.
He is starting total brain radiation yesterday, and is on TEMODOR.
His mood is def. different, before this happened however, it is interesting, looking back, he was QUITE agitated, very snippy, argumentative, it was def. brain swelling.
he is forgetful now, and very emotional.
this is a nasty nasty cancer, and most people are very un or misinformed about this cancer.
i found this board, hoping to find others and find some info and support.
thanks to all for listening
