I try to keep up with developing news about melanoma and cancer in general. Usually, it takes some searching. The other day I found out all I had to do was open my daily newspaper. The front page, main article was about a new break through with a combination therapy being used in clinical trials for advanced stage melanoma patients. Loved it. You can see the original article here: SF Chronicle - Melanoma Advances
I sincerely hope this develops into huge leaps and gains for all of us with melanoma, no matter what stage. Can you imagine being able to take a pill daily that would prohibit any cancer cells from traveling through your body and metastisizing? I can, and I can't wait for that day because I worry most about those spots that haven't been biopsied or noticed.
We have come so far and still have a long ways to go, but this article details a huge step forward.
