        Hi All,

        I am very new to all this.  I live in Vancouver, B.C. and am anxious to find out what the best options are for treatment.  My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma.  I am trying to find a medical oncologist who specializes in melanoma.  Is there anyone like this in Vancouver or is it best to try and  get a referral to Dr. Michael Smylie in Edmonton?  Our family doctor is very helpful and I am sure would be willing to try this.

        My husband has an appointment at the BC Cancer Agency, but I am not convinced the doctor there is really such an expert in this particular illness.

        I would be grateful for your advice and expertise!
