Ive recently been diagnosed with melanoma which has spread to a lymph node in my neck. My doctor wants to now remove all the nodes but says there is no need for chemo. They also found a spot on my lung which they say is too small to biopsy.I would think it would be better to do some chemo?
Hi, In stage 4 melanoma, the cancer is advanced and has spread from its place of origin to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, brain, or liver. As it spreads, stage 4 melanoma can be challenging to treat. Melanoma occurs when the pigment-producing cells called melanocytes mutate and become cancerous. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
