      My wife was diagnosed today with stage 4B melanoma.  Primary location in mid back but heavy in right armpit lymph and several spots in R lung.

      We live in Michigan but are moving to Houston next week so we can go to MD Anderson.  I'm hoping there are trials there that might give us a chance.  So many details to work through with the move AND the medical stuff!!!!

          So sorry to hear about your wife’s diagnosis. MD Anderson is a great place to be. This board can be very slow on the weekends so post again on Monday and I’m sure you will have many responses. My best to you and your wife. Catel
