        I am in the exact same boat as you. My dad is 56 great shape worked all his life. He has stage 4 melanoma. He is going to have his 3 surgery next week. But after that they have gave him 3 options 1. take a shot of chemo everyday for a year (he doesnt want to be sick) 2. experiental drugs 3. go to a cancer treatment center anywhere in the US every 2 weeks for treatment. I have no idea what we should do? If anyone has any advice for us and what treatment options are best please let us know!!!
