    Hi, I have a close relative who had melanoma removed from his neck a few years ago and has now been diagnosed with stage 4 after two spots were removed from his lungs.  I was wondering if anyone could recommend a melanoma specialist who deals with stage 4 cases in south Florida, preferably Miami, but any suggestions are welcome.  Thanks so much in advance

      How about Dr Weber at Moffitt in Tampa? I've heard some on this board really like him. Also if I'm correct he was the main drive that got the FDA to approve the first combo med for mel (ie: Tafinlar/Mekinist).
