Two-year-old with Melanoma

My two-year-old nephew has just been diagnosed with melanoma. He had a mole on his cheek that was removed and grew back. Long story short, they performed a surgery where they removed more tissue from his cheek as well as four lymph nodes from his neck. Two of the four lymph nodes tested positive for melanoma. He now has to go back the end of January for more testing and to remove more nodes. We are all very distraught. Has anyone had any experience with melanoma in small children?

Dear C.,

Our familia has had a Tibetan doctor for about 6 years now.
She is eight generations of Tibetan doctors.

She deals with cancer patients, a friend of mine that have a brain tumor claims that she was the one that
healed her.

I TRUST HER VERY MUCH. Her web site is www.clavan.net.

C., I have no experience with this but I just said a prayer for your nephew. Peace, D.

WOW! I have been in the field for a LONG time and MM in a 2 yr old is not the "norm". I do have one question, WHAT DID THE PATHOLOGY OF THE MOLE THT WAS REMOVED FIRST SAY? If it was removed by a physician it SHOULD have been biopsied which whould have given the MM result or dysplastic at least and a dermatopathologist would have reccomended an excision to avoid the current complication of metastatic disease. He really needs to be seen by some place like the MELANOMA CLINIC AT UCSF. PUSH to get him in to SOME specialty clinic that does nothing BUT MM. I would have the BLOCK of tissue that is created from the first removal pulled and PAY to have it sent for a "consult" to the dermatopathologist at UCSF...they do nothing but skin you do not want a general pathologist looking at it...This should have NEVER been missed the first time assuming it was "sprouting" in the original mole. Good luck and your nephew is in our prayers as well as you whole family.

PS it would be wise for the immediate family to start seeing a dermatologist for mole checks and be sure to TELL the dermatologist that there is a family history of MM @ 2 yrs old (bring the pathology report cause he will probably think you are mistaking!)

My sister's son had a surgery this year, and all I could do was listen to my sister and try to be supportive. This boy's parents are surely going through one of the most difficult things that any parents can go through.

You may find that reading up on melanoma may be more stressful than is good for you, at least that is what I've found in this kind of situation. It's tough, but try to take things one day at a time. His parents could probably use help with cooking and cleaning, or even info on meditation and support groups if they are open to that.

The road back to health can be a rough one and the destination may not be clear for some time. They are going to go through major challenges and upheaval, and they're lucky that their boy has such a loving auntie. My thoughts are with you and with your nephew.

Hi C.,

I say "Amen" to the input that you have already received.

I would also like to encourage you to help them to continue to press in spiritually to seek guidance from Jesus. There are many aspects to healing and the appropriate ones are all provided to us through Him. We just have a tough time discerning what He wants us to do and what "man" tells us to do.

I can share info about a ministry called "The Healing Rooms" that you can take your nephew to for healing prayer ministry.

I can also share info about a nutritional juice product that is enhancing the immune system. It has two miracle molecules (resveratrol & ellagic acid) that have been shown to cause some cancer cells to die a natural death. It is called Genesis and you can find more info about it on my website at www.symmetrydirect.com/dhendon

Please call me if I can be of any further help with either of these nuggets of divine healing provision.

Hi C.,

It is hard to see our children develope challenges that we are not familiar with and wonder why.

We are at war with our environment and most of us do not know what is going on. First of all it is recommended by experts that you alkalize the body. Today our air, water and food that we are eating are creating our body to become acid. Disease and virus lives in that environment.

I recently got envolved with a company that shares how to make your home into a wellness home. Now I understand why we all should have one.

If you would like more info let me know and I will educate you on how to help your nephew rebuild his immune system.

I have been a wellness consultant for 25 years.

Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy holiday.
