      Fantastic news! Congrats to you and your son! It's hard enough having cancer as a parent, can't fathom my child dealing with it. It must have been a dreadful time for you – what a relief to know it's behind you.

      I agree with the previous reply – please see a melanoma specialist if you can. It's worth traveling for.

      One thing my oncologist always says is that melanoma is THE most unpredictable cancers, so don't look at survival rates or articles or anything if you can avoid it. Wait at least until you have a full, clear picture of what is going on in your body. 

      Even if it is worst case scenario, there are so many new treatments that you should do your best to focus on that. 

      Please let us know what your results have to say.
