My sister was diagnosed over a year ago with Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma. Scan revealed masses on a number of organs.

She is fortunate. The FDA approved treatments recently that have been remarkably effective in treating her type of cancer. Unfortunately, complications with her liver (auto immune hepatitis) forced her doctor to cancel the last two of her four scheduled treatments.

She continued treatment with Dabrafenib and Mekinist.

Scans a few months ago showed a spot on her spleen, and she was treated with radiation and tumor cell fighters. The IV treatments were also shortened because of problems with her liver,

There is every reason to be optimistic. Nearly all of the masses were neutralized by the newer treatments. There is no reason to think that the older treatments won't handle the rest.

She will undergo tests and scans tomorrow. If it's not too much trouble, please say a prayer for her.

Thank you.
