I am 34 yrs old and was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma. My doctor said that it is the worst one and that there is no cure if it has already spread. Is there any hope for me? I am scared. Also, I read that it can be genetic and my 16 year old daughter has a discolored raised mole on her arm. She is such a wonderful daughter. I do not want either of us to die. She goes in Tuesday to have it removed and biopsied. Please send me an email. And Pray for us.

i hope you and your daughter beat it. skin cancer has one of the best success rates out of all the types. my grandfather had skin cancer for the last 20 years of his life and was able to keep it under control, it wasn't what caused his death. so keep hopeful!
