Melanoma?just diagnosed?

Question by Roll the Dice??: Melanoma...just diagnosed? Since the mortality rate for stage 3&4 Melanoma is fairly pessimistic ( stage 4 being less than 50% living for 5 years and stage 3 only being slightly better) wouldn't it seem more reasonable and compassionate to fore go Chemo or Radiation treatments since the side effects typically make you wish you were dead. Knowing this and the fact that you'll still have to deal with the symptoms of the disease sooner or later with or without the "treatment". Hopefully someone out there feels as I do that the end of life is the end of life so try to be as comfortable as possible until it arrives. ( understanding that we all have to die from "something" makes Melanoma no more frightening Melanoma...just diagnosed? Related posts:
