AS of now it’s a waiting game… He is battling 2 areas of the melanoma. One in his head/ sinus cavities that was treated with radiation. He completed 15 sessions. The radiation has stopped the nose bleeds. He is waiting to find out if it was able to help in any other forms. Fred was suffering from bad vision but with some new antibiotic eye drops he is able to now read and see better with some 7x magnification glasses. He was frustrated and felt helpless not being able to read, now at least he can read for himself and enjoy the mystery books.

He completed a minor operation about a month ago for a stint replacement in his pelvis region. He was suffering from kidney issues which we now know is related to a melanoma mass. Every 3-4 months he will need to have the stint replaced until they discover if they can operate on the melanoma.
Meanwhile some more tests are being run to determine if his cells meet the qualifications for a special chemo program.
Its a waiting game now…

Thanks again for the support.
