My father in law was recently found to have oral malignant melanoma of the tongue.It has spread to his lymph nodes,hard and soft palate amd uvula.He is due to have surgery in 2 weeks and the doctors tell us the prognosis even with surgery is rather dismal.Is there anyone out there that either has the same disorder or has a family member with this?
