Hi all, My father was diagnosed with braf negative malignant melanoma, it is in the early stages (so he says) and it is in his right lung.
I don't know anything about cancer and would like to get some info like what is "braf negative" what does it mean that it is in his lung and why the dr. said surgery is not an opption.
Not knowing is worse then knowing and i think he is sheltering me with the info because i live far from him...
would appriciate any info you can give me.
thanks !!!
