You all know how devastated we feel right now. My beautiful, loving 63-year old husband has Stage IV Melanoma with a tumor in his brain, several in pelvic area, one on adrenal gland, several along spine, and some small lung nodules. My God, how could this be? He's always been so strong and so healthy!

We've been to Dana Farber and met with a melanoma specialist. But is she the best? Does she know everything that will help my husband? Should I go somewhere else for another opinion? Anyone know anything about the Sylvester cancer center affiliated with University of Miami for melanoma treatments?
Radiation started Friday to pelvic area (he's in a lot of pain). Cyberknife will be performed on brain lesion maybe this coming week. Dana Farber neuro-oncologists agreed with this approach. Dana Farber melanoma doctor is suggesting Yervoy in a week (if he has the right "markers?")??
What else do we need to know? So much to learn, so much to think about. All I know if that I want more years with this wonderful man! Please help!
Thankyou.
Janet
