We know the tumor is in a slightly different area than it was originally. He is in treatment (Temodar for the second time) for the third recurrence of his tumor. We have always been told it is in an area where surgery has not been an option. The oncologist does say he believes it is a higher grade. We think he believes it is glioblastoma but he won't say that definitely without doing another biopsy.
these findings warrant additional skin excision? 2. Is this in fact melanoma? What exactly does the diagnosis mean? 3. What effects does this have on my unborn child at 29 weeks? Here is the path.

I have a 6 year old male cat, I love him with every piece of my heart and sole and would have a melt down if anything should ever happen to him, his names chuck! Any who, not so much recently but like maybe a year or two ago me and my dad noticed black spots in the yellow of his eye, they change shapes, they grow more appear.

A month ago my husband (41) had a tumor resection of a GBM in the left temporal/frontal lobe. He is still recovering from surgery and has begun cancer treatment (temodar& radiation) a week ago. He has a previous accident injury where he has struggled with neck pain for ten years. He has been on suboxone for probably 7 years now. He is currently taking his suboxone but is not getting any relief for his head pain.
The key here is to ask your doctor what the size and thickness is and what the chances are of it becoming a melanoma. It is likely unrelated to the lymphoma in any way. I see these things daily and if I mention one to a patient I always explain the size and the chances of any problems developing. Please call your doctor, it is most likely nothing to worry about unless it was large and impressive and in those cases the patients are almost always referred to a retinal specialist.
00) 6 days a week for 3 months and also start on they melanoma vaccines ($3,600.00). All was coming in around $17,000.00 as a starting estimate; and they then gave a prognosis of 12 to 18 months with the aggressive treatment. And, days before they had said if it was melanoma, he would be just palliative...
I couldn't do it to him. Harl is a very attached to us.
I go every 6 mos for checkups and check my back every time of the month as a reminder to look in the mirror! I have no familial connection to melanoma and the Dr's are amazed given the extensive am't of dysplastic nevi I have all over. My Melanoma was removed '07 and all clear since then.
Early detection is key.
I was diagnosed with a Stage 1a, Clark Level 2 (0.40mm) melanoma in Sept. '07. I had a WLE performed which came back negative for malignancy. There were no other treatments or procedures to go through; and based on the primary characteristics of the tumor, my oncologist told me he was 95 - 98% sure I would not have any problems from this.
I recently heard about this allergy nasal spray called Veramyst and called my physician for a perscription.
Since after 2008, I noticed I've developed a brown spot in my eye, and I didn't notice it's shape change until it shifted from an oval/round shape into an irregular shape. I wear glasses, and when I went to the eye doctors at the time they said it was just the first layer in my eye being too thin in a particular area, but if it was growing to seek further medical help. Should I be concerned? It doesn't really look like its grown..
I got diagnosed in Febuary of this year with a cataract, my optomitrist refered me to a specialist, and when I went to see him in November, there was a tumor within my eye, and subsequent retnal tearing. He booked me in for immediate surgery as he said it was eye melanoma. My surgery is in about 2 weeks. My question is; would my untreated cataract for at least 1 year cause, or attribute to me getting eye melanoma?
Hello,
It does not look like a melanoma. Melanomas are usually >6 mm in size,with irregular borders ,asymmetrical and dark in color. It can be due to photodamage or hyperpigmentation skin.
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 doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Hello, I had a suspicious mole on my neck removed in June and it came back as mild-moderate dysplastic nevus with differential diagnosis of early melanoma in-situ. The area was re-excised with 3mm margins. Since then I have had the slides re-evaluated by UPenn Dermatopathology and their diagnosis was Severe dysplastic nevus with differential diagnosis of evolving melanoma in-situ.
I have seen most of the people with melanoma in their nails have a very brown bottom area of the nail, she doesn't you just see the nail fade away under her light skin. She is hispanic, I heard it is more common to have random brown stripes in darker colored people.
It starts on the corner of her pinky nail, not the thumb, and not in the middle of the nail.
Also some seem to have bruises around the area or big large lumps, she does not have either of those.
