      Hi all, I have posted a few times on this board about my father and every time you give the most wonderful information and support. My dad was hospitalized about three weeks ago due to extreme fatigue and lack of appetite. On a ct scan they saw a mass in the abdomen as well as several spots in the abdomen and one on the lungs. They are assuming it is melanoma, as he had stage 1 three years ago and was considered cured. I am quickly finding out what a sneaky bastard mm is. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday and is much better in terms of strength and vitality and appetite. Though he need s a walker. A month ago he was perfectly fit ! He still does not have a diagnosis as they did two unsuccessful biopsies and were only able to get a sample the other day. Now we wait.
