I was diagnosed with desmoplastic melanoma in August of 2012. It was a tumor on my head. I went to Moffitt Cancer Center. The tumor and one enlarged lymph node were removed in early October. The pathology showed that the tumor extended below the margin and therefore a second operation was done in early December. The balance of the tumor and all of the lymph nodes in my neck on one side were removed. The pathology showed all of the lymph nodes were clear of cancer cells. I then went for six weeks of radiation treatments on my head and neck. In March, I was given a PET scan and there were two pulmonary nodules spotted on my lung. On May 13, I was given a CT scan and the pulmonary nodules had increased in size and number. There is also a vague area on my liver. I had a lung biopsy on May 20th. I am waiting for a MRI, CT scan and a Doctor Appt on May 27. I am a 65 year old male in good physical condition who feels great but is emotionally beaten up. I understand your feelings and can only tell you to not ever give up hope. There are times when things look bleak but you must gut it out.
