seathing child, i am very sorry to hear this,but it doesn't surprise me,my husband had a mole on his back for years that i did not like,he never went,until it grew a blister on it,he went to a dermatologist and he told him "im not worried about it" ,i think they tell everyone that,had a biopsy and came back as stage 3b melanoma, it has been a long year and half, he seems to be doing well,it had spread lymph nodes,brain ,lungs..etc. ,so keeping our fingers crossed that the ippi will work, the interferon obviously didn't. me and my 13 year old are going in july, and i am pertrified,i do have a lot of moles,none that really concern me, but,that doesn't really matter., i believe that if something bothers you and u are very worried about the mole, then why not biopsy it,i don't get doctors sometimes,it is ur body and if thats wat you want done then they should do it, i don't feel that you should have to wait,better be safe than sorry!!!! i wish u luck in this,let us know wat goes on!!!!!

thank you soo much much for the advice,i noticed the behavior about a month a go prior to being diagnosed with 2 new tumors on his brain,he has been on the steriods for about a week and a half,thats when these "fits" started,no patience,extremely agitated,etc., it is very hurtful,embarassing and scary,he seems to be like this with me,but, his sister did notice it awhile ago,too. i have not talked to him since the car parking episode at lowes this afternoon,he realized wat he did,but never apologized. i pray this is not the start of a very long road,it is hard enuff to deal with this disease with a loved one,but i don't think i can go thru this again. thank you and i will definitely call his oncologist and neurosurgeon and support on facebook!!!! thank you soo much for responding,this can be a touchy subject…
