  • Hi Debs53,

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband and that he will be undergoing treatment. Every patient reacts to the treatments differently - some have no side effects, some have mild ones & some serious ones so until he's started the treatment you won't know how he's going to be. As for his chances? Well the treatment for Stage 4 melanoma has been in existence for several years now and the most recent statistics are showing great results. This means that more patients are living with the disease rather than dying from it. I will find the information and send it to you by private message, along with other advice that you may find helpful. To be able to send you a message I need to send you a friend request - once you accept the request I can send you the information. I hope tis helps for the moment,

    Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)
