      Thank you for your responses. The CT came back with ‘Carotid Body Tumor” which means it’s a large tumor wrapped around his artery in his neck. What are the odds it’s the same side as the melanoma. I’m thankful it wasn’t melanoma in his lymph, at the same time, we are now dealing with a very scary surgery and potential malignancy.

      I still plan on checking in to learn about the new treatments. Every single bio family member has had melanoma on my side, except my mother. And the fact I married a guy who gets it as well.. geesh.
