        I am so sorry and sad for this tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

         

        Melanoma patients should be treated as patients with stroke or heart attacks: being treated once they step into the clinic. When my husband felt his pain grew fast and nobody in the clinic cared but told him to wait for the appointment a month later, he almost had to pound the desk to get the surgery. I really hope the medical system will improve soon.

              I agree with the Googling thing as Kevin suggested above. When I first learned about melanoma, it was extremely frustrating reading all the negative search results. However, treatments have been improved greatly these years. If you want to learn more, I suggest you limit the search time frame within the recent 2 years. Likely you'll get updated information.
