Hi, I am new to this site and I know this may sound bad, but I am glad to see there are other people with the same thing my mother has. She was diagnosed 8/2011 with mucosal melanoma. She woke up with a nose bleed in July of last year that lasted on & off for three weeks. When she went to the Dr they had found the tumor in her nose, since then the cancer has spread throughout her body infecting her neck, liver, lungs, left arm bones, right leg bones and now her stomach. They have just been treating her with chemo. She lives and sees the Dr's in the Sun City AZ area. They say they are some of the best Dr's there.

I am very thankful for all your postings and the kind of treatments everyone is going through. This gives me some questions to ask my mom's dr about her treatments. It seems as though the chemo they have her on, which I believe is Taxol seems to be slowing the cancer down.

We were told this type of cancer is a death sentence. They only gave her 6 months to a year to live. Does anyone know if there have been survivors of this Mucosal Melanoma? We could really use some encouraging stories now.

As I read some of the postings here I get chocked up. I am so sorry that any of you and your loved ones have to endure this cancer. Thank you for taking the time to post and share your stories.
