I really appreciated the truth told here.i was recently diagnosed with mucosal melanoma in rectum. I pre piously had rectal cancer and after 51/2 yrs. out, they found melanoma on biopsy during a colonoscopy.

Sorry, couldn't finish my previous comment. I've had PET scans and MRI 's ,plus flexible sigmoidoscopy and no melanoma. I've been to a specialist waiting to hear what she thinks. What do you think might be my plan for future?

Hi Roger. I’m really sorry to read of your diagnosis. I am a bone cancer survivor and I know what it’s like in that moment (and every moment after) when you’re told you have cancer. Just know that you’re not alone. There are millions of us out here fighting the good fight right alongside with you. Don’t ever feel alone even when your brain tries to make you believe you are. Note: Make sure to talk to your oncologist about getting testing done to see if you qualify for targeted therapy. And if your oncologist isn’t interested in that route make sure to get a second opinion. Even a third opinion. I know it sounds like a lot of work to do that but I have a friend who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. The first oncologist she went to basically told her she was too far gone and to get her affairs in order. She got a 2nd opinion and two years later she’s currently cancer free. Stay strong. We can do this.

Why are we not treating all stages of Melanoma??

There are treatments for all stages of melanoma. Most recently, the standard of care has changed for Stage II melanoma patients, which is why we talked about this new breakthrough.

@fromtheclinictothelivingro303 i would love to hear about that because as I know so far, we cannot treat In Situ (In Situ that surgery cannot be performed on) or Stage 1. Instead of invading, some Melanomas can spread superficially across the skin. Yet there is no treatment until it actually invades?? Where can I find that research??
