Video description:
Melanoma expert Jeffrey Weber, MD, PhD, talks about stages 1 through 4 of melanomas that appear on the skin, why doctors “stage” them, and how staging helps doctors and patients decide on treatment. He also discusses how skin, eye (ocular) and mucous membrane melanomas are staged differently.

My melanoma only went into one lymph node. It got really big. But stayed and didn’t go into any other lymph nodes. I guess I’m a case study but I say it’s the power of prayer .

My gf had a skin tag or mole pop up in the past that was normal looking and pink, but recently it has become oddly shaped and is pink with a black base where it attaches. She also told me it has bled before. Based on that alone does it sound like stage 2 or later? I know it isn’t good. She’s supposed to see a doctor tomorrow but I’m very concerned she has waited too late to stop it from metastasizing...
