Hello, I Just Got A Phone Call From A Friend
Hello,
I just got a phone call from a friend who said her sister, whom we all know has had a suspicious "whole" on her abdomin for 3 years and has chosen to do nothing about it even though her family has pleaded with her to go. She finally acquiest and went right after Christmas. They did surgery right away and are saying it is Stage 4 Melanoma. They say it is in her lymph nodes and are going to try experimental treatments. My question is ... Does this mean it's definitely fatal and if so any idea of time wise?!
