He has been able to walk around, but would get tired quick. After being put on the Revlimid, he also suffered from fatigue and he started to walk less and less.
He also started to lose weight.
After the change in doctor's, he initially started to improve; and he walked for a couple of days without a walker before falling and moving back to the walker.
Eventually, the Velcade started to make matters worse for him.
something told me to google it and it said cancer then I got to the melanoma cancer and I am so terriefied, I have almost 9 spots that look and have the abcde symptoms. I am 27 lived my life at the beach so I have had many bad sunburns and always in the sun. Im so worried since I have let it go this far that the doctor will tell me its spread. I just need someone one to calm me down or even look at picture and tell me what you think, I just want to be ready for it.
She only told me that after removing them, she would have them biopsies and we would go from there. Any chance of this turning into to skin cancer? If it is, I understand that the first step is to see if it has spread. Either way, do we just cut them out and that's it? Is chemo or meds necessary? She really didn't explain anything at this point and I may be jumping to conclusions, but I'm starting to think maybe its cancer? Any ideas or explainations?
Melanoma is a skin cancer that infiltrates and grows within the substance of the skin, hence will not be easy to scrape off like a scab. It requires surgery, where skin is cut and removed.
Jet black lesions should be checked by a skin doctor. But dont panic. I think that these are more likely to be benign in your case. Pl let me know how your skin consult goes. Good luck!
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Basal cell carcinoma is one of the slow spreading and a non melanoma cancer of the face. It starts in the top layer of the skin called the epidermis. It grows slowly and is painless. A new skin growth that bleeds easily or does not heal well may suggest basal cell carcinoma. Don’t worry and get the biopsy done from a dermatologist. Hopefully if it is a basal cell carcinoma, it should not have spread much, but exact staging can only be done after biopsy.

* Malignant melanoma - This is a skin cancer that is developed in the skin cells that give the skin its pigmentation. This form of melanoma has increased more rapidly over the last 4 decades than any other form of cancer. In the United States, this type of cancer is responsible for over 80 percent of deaths linked to skin cancer
* Basal cell carcinoma - This is the most common form of skin cancer. This cancer presents as shiny pink or a red lump on the skin surface.
2-1/2 years ago I had breast cancer and was prescribed Anastrazole which blocks the estrogen from my body as the tumor was estrogen feeding. All of a sudden and very quickly I have now developed crepey skin on my arms and cleavage. Has anyone else noticed this from taking an estrogen-blocking agent? I am so tempted to stop taking this pill, but I have 2-1/2 more years to go and don't want cancer to recur. I am 69 but I will look like 95 by the time this is over.
