My father was referred to a melanoma specialist at Sloan-Kettering - Dr. Jedd Wolchok.
Dr. Wolchok did an examination and told us the most comforting thing that we had heard so far - that each case should be treated as an individual - ignore what you read or what you've heard, and that as doctors they have seen amazing things.
Next he suggested that my father should enter into a phase II trial with an experimental drug - AZD6244. The trial randomly selects people to either take the AZD6244 (an experimental medicine) or Temozolomide (a chemotherapy drug).
After a ton of paperwork he was officially a lab rat (pending a whole bunch of tests)!
