My feelings are like a rollercoaster. Somedays I am on a high that I have been in remission this long. And others, I just have this awful feeling of doom hanging over me. My brother has metastatic melanoma that has taken over almost 3/4 of his liver. It is so hard for me to watch this happening to him. There is not much they can do for melanoma but for us,
there are drugs that can be tried. I just try to hang on to hope. As long as there's hope, there's a chance...I am sorry you are having to go through this..sherryg
