This woman had skin cancer (malignant melanoma) metasticized to just about everywhere, including a giant tumor in the neck that was considered to risky to operate on (plus she was under palliative care). It grew rapidly, and they tried to ease the pain with radiation therapy and/or covering it with topical numbing anesthetic cream several times a day.

Finally they decided to remove it. She died a week later.


This is my first post, so be nice.
And also I'm Swedish, in case I appear grammatically challenged.

melanoma=certian death, if one small cell gets in your blood stream your in big trouble.Must get your self checked every 12 months,why the hell this woman let it get like this is beyond me,one the size of a small mole is enough to take out half of your back at surgery and then it might not be enough.

Before I read that she died, I was worried about a bad infection. Nice first post!

Yeah, without a skin transplant subsequent to the removal that wound was bound to get badly infected. Die from cancer or sepsis, I don't know which is better...

And thanks!
