PSA & the Sun
The study seems to have started on the premise that: "
Melanoma
and prostate cancer may share risk factors." "There is growing evidence that cutaneous
melanoma
(CM) and some of its predictors are also predictors of PC risk.

The Scientist: A Body Without Food ~ intermittent fasting
CANCER
By making tumor cells more susceptible to chemotherapeutic agents while protecting healthy cells from the treatment’s toxicity, intermittent fasting is showing promise in slowing the progression of breast cancers and
melanoma
in mice.

New to the group
My son was diagnosed with stage 4
melanoma
at the age of 22 in 2015. He had a big lump on the back of his head. He had surgery and after got a full body scan and mri. They found 2 other small tumors and he went through immunotherapy. This was working well to shrink the tumors until a month ago.

Extreme Mole Anxiety
Sometimes a mole will get a random itch, which I know can be another symptoms of
melanoma
, and it'll send me spiraling even if I had been having an "okay" day before that.

Do any of your "spots" or moles look like an "Ugly Duckling"?
So I hope by now that all of us as caregivers are familiar with using the ABCDE of
melanoma
screening when giving a look at our partner/ child and ourselves.

Evidence used for my decision process with (IMO)
I had heard there were treatments with this on
melanoma
and other cancers. They were about 2.5-3cm across and they resolved ( likely due to inhibition of NFkB) in about 4 weeks!

Newly diagnosed and paranoid
I was diagnosed with
melanoma
about a year ago on my upper shin, stage 1a. I had it removed with surgery and everything came back clear but it's still all that I think about.

Methionine Dependency.
Human cancer patient tumors, including tumors of the colon, breast, ovary, prostate, and a
melanoma
, were observed to be methionine dependent in Gelfoam® histoculture based on cell cycle analysis.

New - Waiting for biopsy results -- Terrified :(

Exotic cures or traditional medication?? for my cancers?
I have been through 5 diagnoses, including 2 x malignant
melanoma
, 2 x stage 4 Gliobastomer brain tumour and a stage 4 prostate cancer. All of these were primary cancers and not a metastasis of another.

Antioxidant and metastasis
The data strongly suggest that using antioxidants “could be really dangerous in lung cancer and
melanoma
, and possibly other cancers,” he said.

Methotrexate Injection Severe Itching Head & Neck After One Injection & 6 Weeks
Doc has been reluctant to put me on methotrexate because I have previously had
melanoma
but I am 5 years clean now. So at the visit he decided to let me try methotrexate to see if it would help. He also put me on prednisone for 6 days. I got an injection of rasuvo 15 mg.

New to this
My partner was just diagnosed with metastatic
melanoma
which was ocular in origination. Just beginning to look at options but I have to admit I am scared and can't shake this deep, sinking feeling.

How does cancer become metastatic?
I have particularly appreciated thinking about the differences between the "seed" of
melanoma
cancer and how we approach treatment interventions as well as considerations for managing the "soil" of the body/mind/spirit of the person living with cancer and the family "soil" environment, too. https://www.newyorker.com

I'm no longer able to function
My current major worries are
melanoma
skin cancer and breast cancer. My mother is 69 years old, obese, inactive, and has always been a "sickly" person ever since childhood with one ailment or another. 10 years ago she was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
