I’m stage 3 melanoma since May 2014, currently NED 1 month.
After my reoccurance in Jan 2016, my oncologist was all about the new “Jimmy Carter drug”, and while most people do respond to it, it was looking like I wasn’t going to. So, I talked to my doctor about the next plan of action, which was the herpes virus. The way that it was explained to me is that they would choose 4 locations of melanoma, which at this point was all over my left leg, and thigh, and inject the herpes virus into the melanoma and then to treat the herpes. I had well over 50 spot and doing 4 a week was going to take a while for this treatment, not to mention that I would now be giving my husband herpes.
Your children probably got the virus from you as well. It’s very contagious especially if you have a cold sore. As their mom, I’m sure you gives them plenty of kissespace and lots of love. Not a big deal. It happened with a friend of mine and her daughter.

Hi. I was diagnosed in 2014 with stage 3 melanoma on my left foot, 3rd toe. I always thought that it was strange to get it there if the main cause is UV rays.I will admit that as a child, I did run around barefoot and had a creek in my backyard where I would catch turtles and frogs and have a blast.
I had a mole on that toe for most of my adult life, but not as a child. I never thought much of it until a wart started growing. As soon as the dermatologist saw the wart, he told me that my toe would have to come off. Honestly, I thought that he was joking.
I am fair skin and I do have melanoma in my family. But as an adult, I usually wear shoes. Unless I am in the house.
I’m not sure how much I believe about the heredity thing. My mom used to bake in the sun, she never got it. My dad as well. I may have laid out 3x my entire life (I’m 37) and I get it on a spot that doesn’t even get exposed to the sun.
I was reading earlier and I saw that it said that it could be caused by a virus. But, not which virus….
As far as viruses, I’ve never gotten blisters or cold sores, so no herpes. I’ve had pneumonia, I had a very mild case of mono as a teenager.
Could it be a side effect from a vaccine? One that was obviously not noticed before? I get the flu shot every year and the pneumonia shot every few years. I’m not sure what other virus that so many people could have had.
Part of me thinks that we all have it, it just depends on if it becomes active or not. Kinda like, Staph Infection.
Any thoughts????
