Question
hi my mom is 46yrs old, she has been diagnosed with mestatic melonoma stage 4 in july 2008, its now december 2008.. the cancer has spread to her pelvic,lungs,hip joint, all through her lympnodes, she ended up having quite a few seizures so we had to call 911. they ran a cat scan on her the cancer has spread to her brain. There are 2 tumors that are 1 c.m .... what do i expect now??
The size of her brain mets makes it possible to treat them with the so called GammaKnife. Unfortunately that can not cure her only delay the outcome somewhat. I expect her survival time now to be at most just a few more months. But it may also be much shorter. I'm sorry I have nothing better to tell you!
