Went to oncologist tonight with all intentions of starting Biochemo therapy. First they tell me because last surgery and melanoma now in soft tissue under arm I am now moved to high risk stage 4. Still some activity they want to watch from pet scan on Monday. They will send scans to surgeon for his opinion. We set next scan for six weeks and see if activity becomes more. No biochemo. We leave with mixed feelings. 20 minutes later in car on way home surgeon calls it is cancer to close to nerves and pectoral muscle. I say to him okay where to next. He says go get chemo now don’t wait.Went to oncologist tonight with all intentions of starting Biochemo therapy.

Wow, that is quite a night! I'm curious if you've done any other type of treatment? Have they tested your tumors for BRAF? Just curious why they're starting you on bio chemo. Is there any other mets in your body?

Crazy how things change from moment to moment sometimes! Emotional high-speed rollercoaster! Sounds like they are getting you started right away, keep us all posted of your progress. So glad we live in a place where things can move so quickly to get the best care possible. Wishing you the very best response!!
