My grandfather just died of melanoma during christmas!. from what i know having a highly educated cancer specialist in the family is that melanoma is a death sentence!. Melanoma will most likely appear in an odd place (armpit, middle of back etc!.) it will be a small hard bumb under the skin!. This type of cancer spreads very fast and is hard to fight even with radiation and kimo!. My grandad found out he had it in October, the doctor gave him 8 months, in November he went for a check up to find that the cancer spread to his kidney and then to his brain, the doctor told him he would be lucky to make it 4 weeks, he died 2 weeks later, within that time frame he lost his ability to communicate, walk, get up, sit up, lost about 50 lbs!. and this is a 90 year old who played golf every day!. This is a killer cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
