Question:
My dad had a growth removed from his back last year. The diagnosis was
melanoma. Everything was fine until his GP did a blood test and found he
has a high protein count. He saw the oncologist today and is scheduled
for bone xrays and bone marrow sampling this Thursday. The doctor asked
him if he was feeling any pain (he's not) and poked and felt around. He
then popped up with scheduling the xray/sampling and mentioned about
multiple melanoma. My Dad got all concerned as my mother had multiple
myloma. The doctor said they aren't the same though similar. He said
multiple melanoma is not curable but treatable and then left. That's the
same for multiple myloma (not sure if I'm spelling that correctly).
Anyway melanoma I thought is skin cancer. Dad doesn't have any new spots,
so does it go internal if they didn't get it all with the previous
surgery? Can anyone direct me to a web site that would provide more
information on multiple melanoma?
Answer:
In May I lost 1/3 of my upper left lung to cancer.
I also had a mass on my left adrinal gland.
Blood work was a mess.
In June I my prayers were answered.
Within two weeks of a nutritional based program I went back to the
Doctor.
The Adrinal mass stopped growing.
It's in remission.
Most of the lab values are dropping down close to normal.
Best of all my energy is back to precancer levels.
