Debbie -

Scary thing to be going through with your daughter and son-in-law. I just wanted to share (whether it helps or not), that I have a friend whose husband has been stage IV melanoma for sometime now. He has been receiving treatment at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN. Just yesterday, he had another PET scan. His previous scan, three months ago, "lit up like a Christmas tree" in their words as the melanoma was all over. He has since been doing immune booster shots and an oral chemo. Well yesterdays scan showed only a "few" (literally only a few) metastatic areas.
So you see, there is hope. They believe that now. Hope is something to live by especially if one is stage IV but I have heard some pretty miraculous stories from Stage IV people. Let's hope he will be one of those.
