Less than one minute read time.

(My brillant Brother). May..2010 surgery to remove known milgnant melanoma on face. Also removed lymph by the ear and small bone at front of ear (Trageus) also another melanoma futher down the cheek. After surgrey was told there was another lump not removed on the left side. Face healed up really well. June 2010 started a combination of a month of radio therapy and after a week the first of three lots of chemotherapy.(he is now on his first lot of chemo and second week of radio)Has anyone been through this..(what side effects and symptoms is he likely to have?) is there anything we can do for him? Ct scan has not shown anyother involment .

    back again from spain. Radiotherapy is now finished his mouth is so sore full of ulcers and he has found this very painfull, the doctors have at last degun to react to his pain and he now is useing Fentanyl  patches as the main pain block and can still have the other tablets for breack though. The strange thing is he did not have to have his 3 chemo ? i think he needs time to heal and then they will see what happens.
