My husband was first diagnosed with malignant melanoma three years ago. The malignant mole was removed along with a wider area of skin. In June last year he developed a large lump under his arm and was immediately admitted to hospital for an axillary dissection. The outcome was a six cm tumour had developed in the lymph nodes. A CT scan also confirmed suspicious spots on the lungs. In October a further CT scan confirmed these spots had grown and the oncologist confirmed the cancer had metastised. He went through three months of chemo - decarbazine. The latest scan in January this year confirmed the cancer had not responded to the chemo, it was continuing to grow and indeed had spread further - the liver and a node around the right lung. Please can you advise me of the likely outcome as I have been afraid of asking the question.
