My husband is being treated by MD Anderson for Melanoma. At this point in his treatment (which with Melanoma will last a life time) he is going in every three months for three full body checks ( 1st the RN, then the PA, and then the Oncologist). He is x-rayed and tested for cancer in his liver. By request of MDA, in between the visits, he is seen by his dermatologist.
Melanoma is so aggresive, the sooner you catch it, the better the outcome.
