Hi all,
my wife had a mole and SN removed at UCLA 2 years ago…margins and node were clean…we have been seeing an onc at UCLA every 3 months with pet/ct scans every 6 months with a couple in between…april of 2012 submillmeter nodules were seen on scan…6 months later nodules were stable…feb 2013 5 nodules were seen to have grown but were still sub centimeter….got a needle biopsy confirmed to be mel…..we go to UCLA this friday to meet with onc for first treatment options…no treatments have been taken by my wife yet..next week we are going to meet with Dr. Kim at MD Anderson for a second opion then we are picking a treatment….we are still awaiting for mutation test results…based on what i have gathered it looks like yervoy, PD-1, and BRAF-MEK are the way to go…but im no doctor as i realize most out on this forum are not..that being said for the more experianced on this board what would be a good way to go in your opinion?
Im just trying to get peoples ideas to better help me with our choice…and as far as we know the lungs are the only organ with visible mets at this time..thanks
