Is It Correct To Remove Rest Of Lymph Nodes In Temple And Neck For Having Stage 3b Melanoma?
My father has stage 3b melanoma. His oncologist doesn t recommend chemo or interferon based on his past medical history of ulcerative colitis. I don t think this sounds right. He s having the surgery to remove the rest of the lymph nodes in his temple and neck in about two weeks.
