Thanks for your message.  It's good to know there is some hope. 

We're waiting to hear about his sentinel node biopsy results today.

I'll let him know about your offer to talk to him.

Take care,

Scott

Thanks for your reply Janner.

No, I do not think his oncologist specializes in melanoma.  After reading these posts we're already looking for one. He's in southern CA and I've read that UCLA is specializing in melanoma treatment.  I think we'll check there.

He's 70 years old and in fair condition.  He has type II diabetes, but he's been getting in much better health lately.

His oncologist said last week that he does not have the BRAF mutation.

Is it normal that his oncologist isn't being direct with him about the consequences of what they've found?  The radiologist seemed surprised that he was the first Dr. to tell him he had Stage IV melanoma.

We're hoping for the best, but I fear the worst.

Thanks,

Scott
