Dear Fred
How can I help my grandparents deal with a recent diagnosis of multiple melanoma of my grandfather who's health is failing? I want to help them cope with this.
Fred's Response
I have had a few melanomas and you have to be careful not project the worst results in the early stages. It is dangerous but I have found it is controllable with surgery. Be sure he is not delaying treatment. A good dermatologist can be very helpful in helping him cope. While I cannot think much of what you can do, other then encouraging his treatment and not building up the danger more then reality.
