Question: One of my good friends has just discovered that he has the early stages of skin cancer developing on his back.?

He says that it didn't come from a mole and that the doctor never said that the mutated cells had started metastasizing. He also has parkinson's disease to the point where he is shaking a little bit every time he is holding something in his hand. Please give him an estimate of his expected life-span. He didn't have any lesions either. He is a healthy, active and physically fit fourteen-year-old.

Answers:

First of all, let me give my sympathy to this child. He seems like such a fighter :)

As for life span, from what I have heard early stages ( I'm assuming 1 MAYBE 2 stage) is very curable. He should be fine. Relax and let him know about all of the people who have been fine 50 years after cancer. He is young and sounds pretty healthy. I will be praying for this precious child.

No one knows his expected lifespan.
The Parkinson’s has probably cut it by 10-15 years.
It is obvious his skin cancer has not metastasized, because as you said it is in the earliest stages and therefore has no affect on his lifespan.
