Hi John!
I would get to the James ASAP and see Dr. Agnese (melanoma specialist surgical oncologists) and Dr. Olenki (melanoma specialist medical onclology). I have first hand experience dealing with both of them! Dr. Agnese is very sweet and nice and Dr. Olenki is a strait foward no BS guy. Both very good!
Wishing you all the best

Hi Yasmin,
My understanding is that they can still continue to do treatement even with a brain met that is bleeding and that it doesn't necessarily mean "the end". WIth that being said, I would have the conversation with your doctor. Does he still plan on giving him the Ipi? I know with my family memeber who had Melanom, we had the conversation with the doctor that their may become a point there is a "hard stop" meaning based on the progression, the treatment would no long be beneficial. His doctor was very firm when that point came and we moved him to hospice.

I have had 4 moles removed off my back now & they have all keloided. I even had two of them removed by a plastic surgeon. The two I had about 15 years ago have gotten better in time. I have two newer ones (within the past year) that I've been putting vitamin E on, but yes they drive me crazy sometimes.
