Melanomal Stage 4 Cancer Survivor, CT Scan Showed Growth On Sternum. Any Suggestions?
Yes, doctor. I am a 62 year old male melanoma stage 4 cancer survivor. My recent CT Scan expressed a growth on my sternum approximately 2 cm in size and about 6-8 mm from my aorta . It has NOT grown since the previous scan. I meet this Thursday with my oncologist . Do you have any suggestions for me? Sincerely, Mike Burchette
