They found lesions on my Dad's liver. The biopsy showed that the lesions are melanoma. He was originally diagnosed 5 years ago when a mole removed from his back was malignant. One lymph node was affected so all the surrounding lymph nodes were removed. Things were ok until now. Melanoma can move quickly to other organs and aggressive therapy needs to be started immediately. On Monday he will go to the Dana Farber Cancer Center in Boston where a treatment plan will be developed. They have a special melanoma clinic.
If you have a minute, please think a good thought in whatever way you do that. Although I have known this was always a possibility, the reality is pretty devastating.
My Dad was a sun worshipper in the days when that was fashionable and SPF didn't exist. Please put sunscreen on yourself and especially on your children. This cancer is preventable.
