I had a melanoma cut off my chin several years ago. There was no followup CT or MRI--should there have been? A month ago I had a seizure because of a leaking melanoma in the brain. Normal surgery removed that melanoma, and gamma knife surgery removed several more brain mets. I also have mets in both lungs, one breast, numerous lypmph nodes, and at various places subcutaneously. From this info, what would my stage be? I am now taking Tamodar. Can anyone guestimate what my life expectancy is?

I apologize for the dumb questions. I am just beginning to research my problem.

It is most surprising that you had no follow-up. Did you ask your team why this did not happen? You really ought to be asking some very serious questions from what you have written.
