      Hi all,

      My wife had melanoma removed from her arm 2 years ago. It was ulcerated. It was removed with a node …clean margins and node.. Done at UCLA.. And we have been going every 3 months for follow up..including pet/ct scans… Multple millimeter nodules were noted in an April 2012 pet scan.. Told to watch them..August 2012 ct should nodules stable.. February ct showed 5 of the nodules had grown from April.. Did a needle biopsy of a nodule a couple weeks ago and found to be melanoma… So we are going this Friday to meet with our onc.. The following week we are going to MD Anderson in Houston to meet with Dr. Kim for a second opinion on treatments… Then go from there.. We are still waiting for the mutation test results… My question on this would a molecular report be valuable in the beginning part of treatment… And for that matter for the whole process.. Trying to get all the tools I can to help my beautiful wife through this. Thanks
