Bruce, you might consider contacting The Center for the Study of Natural

Oncology - 2658 Del Mar Heights Rd., Del Mar, CA 92014. I know if my cancer

came back or got worse, that's what I would do without hesitation.

Bruce,

Many of the meds that thwart melanoma are not likely to benefit the

amelanotic subtype. You will probably have to use decadron to buy yourself

time in spite of the fact that it dumbs down immune function. Boswellia at

about 3-4 grams per day can be very useful.

The first real med that you can consider would edelfosine. This is a

non-toxic soy derivative that I have used successfully with melanoma and

with two different types of brain cancer. I would consider using any

analogs such as miltefosine that I could find. It is expensive and hard to

find so you should start your search immediately as our supply through the

Center is limited.

There are many other useful meds and supplements that you can use, but

their choice largely depends on the grade of your melanoma and the

overarching strategy you choose.
