my melonoma was was started by a mole that was on my right forearm. they did surgery to remove it and most of my lymph nodes in my right armpit an beneath the pectoral muscle. only one of those nodes were positive for the cancer, i didnt get lucky enough to find out early. i found out when i was having a twitching problem with my right fingers, not very often, it would last about half minute to 2 or 3 minutes and then not again for like a month or so, sometimes twice a week. to make a long story short it was a metastatic melanoma which had metastisised to by brain. over the last three years, i have had two craniotomies, to remove two separate tumors that were both about 2.5,3.5 centimeters. and get this, my tumors were growing and sprouting so fast that the hospital, which has a gammaknife machine, treated 7 more tumors each one in random locations from 5 to 15 mm! And three weeks of whole brain radiation. Today i am still alive, working a full time job,with overtime, taking care of my little three people family and going out every weekend doing whatever for fun. i even had two tumors on my spleen that dissappeared within the time i was having my surgeries. right now i am fighting with my doctor for a higher dosage of the chemo because it looks like i may actually survive.
If anyone thinks their moles or beauty marks arent looking right, "INSIST! that your doctor scrape them for analysis, mine told me my spots didnt look suspicious but when i learned different, it was too late!
