My wife is diag on 4/8/2008 Stg III anal melanoma (3.5mm depth). Had a WLE/Flap and Sent node Trace which show left inguial node positive on 5/23/2008. Will start High dose Rad Therapy on 7/11/2008 for 6 weeks. Tumor is positive for c-kit and testing for deletion will be complete in 4wks. Will consider Gleevec at the end of radiation. Some Oncologists want to just wait and scan evey 3 months. What's are you Oncologists recommending, what is the reaction to Gleevec and what are the side effects.
Thanks
