Blog Discussion Board > New diagnosis of my brother; stage 4 melanoma

My brother was just given the news on March 31,2010. Stage iv in lower lymphnodes and liver. Originated on his right leg. He has already given up...the oncologist told him that the new treatments are so caustic, it destroys the body..as he had seen in his residency - and the he himself would not go thru it. So, my brother is not seeking treatment...we are trying to get him to get a 2nd opinion. Does anyone have good news or advice that you can share with me? I have searched and searched...found many trials - his is not willing to go thru a trial.
