Hello, my husband has Melanoma stage IV.  He was first diganose Feb 15, 2012. At that time he had a mole that was bleeding and was removed and sent for test.  Two days after it being removed he had a knot on the right side of the neck.  The test came back regarding his back and it was Stage III Melanomia.  A PET scan was done and the knot was cancer as well.  AT the time they did surgery on the back and next.  He had radiation and was done in August. The Aug scan was good and the Nov scan was good.  January 2013 scan showed something on the lung.  They didnt believe it was cancer but since it  grow from Aug and Nov scan (at that time was a small dot and they were not concern). And also there were lesions on the spleen and we was never told about that until later.  The surgeron said they are not sure if its cancer that we can wait until next scan or remove it, she advised us she would remove it so we agreed.  Sugery was done and  was tested and it was Melanomia.  Now April its in the lower left lung and still shows lesion on the spleen.  They are saying it doesnt look like melanomia but neither did the right lung and it was.  I requested to have it removed and they said they cant keep operating on him because it keeps coming back. They want my husband to take Lukine.  We are waiting now on that.  My question is.. what will this Lukine do.. will it slow it down, will it shrink what is there?  No one will tell me what to expect with him in this stage.. How long he has, what do they think is next?  I love this hosptial and the dr. are great.

With him being in this stage and it coming back so fast I want to know what to expect.  Can anyone help?
