Thanks for starting this facebook page. I will be follwoing it, but hesitiate to post for now, only becuase my son is a little private about this. my son Ben was also diagnosed with oral melanoma right before he turned 21. His was on the tip of his tongue . Oral melanoma rare enough, and the location even rarer!
His had spread to one lymph node. Had CLD and a year of interferon. He is now 5 years NED!
At the time of dx I knew better than to do too much googling and researciing on the ineternet, but couldnt help myslef. All I saw were very grim statisitics and so this was a very scary time for us. It still is, espiecally during the wait to find out scan results.
again, thanks for giving a voice to those with this rare form of melanoma.
