I went for another opinion and now I have mucosal melanoma which the primary source and was not caught the first time.(Thanks to the doctor who didn't biospy it this year / Spring.)  I have received 3 more bio -chemos along with a cardia arrest because of too many drugs for nausea causing Long QT symdrom.  I also finished 35 treatments of raditation the first part of December. I'm just to the point of getting some of my energy back. I live in CO but travel back and forth to MDACC and CU for my treatment. This April I will head back for every test adn scan know to man kind. If I can help anyone with this terrible road their traveling on,  please don't hestiate to ask.   Chris Clythgoe Tue, 25 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT My mother just got diagnosed with Mucosal Melanoma in October 2007. She had a craniofacial dissection in October and completed radiation in February 2008. We find out tomorrow if her lymph nodes are involved. We are looking for recommendations for who to use as her Melanoma Medical Oncologist. Do you have any suggestions? I am sorry to hear you are having to go through this. I would be glad to share any info. I have gathered with you as well. Thanks! mimi8 Thu, 08 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
