clark 5 means stage 4 plz reply
Hello @yug15. Clark Level describes how deeply the melanoma has penetrated the skin. Stage IV means the melanoma cells have spread to other parts of the body. Clark Level 5 does not necessarily mean Stage IV. See> melanoma.org.au/for-patients/melanoma-diagnosis/ Best wishes.
I'm scared now,need to wait another 8 weeks for dermatology appointment,in the mean time it could be spreading

Hello I'm sorry we cannot provide individual medical advice on this channel. I hope you can see a doctor.
I’m not trying to draw attention or ask you to even look at this comment I just want to thank you for all the help you gave my papa, Georgina he really really appreciated you and it’s because of your hard work he made it was far as he did. Thank you for going me as much time as I could have with him keep up the work ❤
wow thank you for having a look at my comment! i know your very busy and you still found the time and im very thankful i hope you keep making ground breaking discovers i know you will help a lot of people

Your doing great work there.... 5yrs on for me from brain/lung melanoma thanks to keytruda....still kicking, glad to see richard still doing well.
Thank you! Great to hear you responded well.
@MelanomaInstituteAustralia yes was a life saver for me,got a bit of brain damage to cerrebellum from the keytruda in the end, but working through that....hope to see richard still here yrs from now
Superb resource! Thank you!!
My heart is breaking for you💔
Grazie Professore... Lei è una grande persona...una persona magnifica! Tutti noi ci ha dato un po' di vita ❤️. Grazie grazie grazie per tutto il mondo scientifico ❤❤❤❤
How is she doing today? ❤
Great video. Unfortunately when I asked to see a nutritionist or dietician, the Doctor I spoke with said that wasn't necessary. And due to so much conflicting information online is, "What can I eat, what should I avoid" another doctor said "Eat what you want." I swear, there are too many doctors that conflict each other and rely on a frame piece of paper hanging on their wall as their knowledge and experience. Yet in this video, it is clearly stated "Mediterranean Diet" (Just like the BaleDoneen Method states).
Unquestionably the best early stage melanoma video produced to date, thanks very much.
I have a son called Adam aged 34 I cannot imagine the pain this mum an her son are in, I lost my husband to cancer, this melanoma and other cancers seem to be prevalent and especially in younger people.
Thank you and sorry to hear about your husband. Yes, unfortunately melanoma is the most common cancer for Aussies aged 20 to 39. Thankfully Adam is well and has responded to immunotherapy treatment. Very best wishes to you.
Great interview; these two individuals are brilliant. Let's hope the protocol that's adopted here will reveal some positive outcomes. I'll be following Richard's journey closely. Shine on Richard!
Im currently waiting for my biopsy results and this all applies. I hate tat it take so long for results. To compound the issue i am having kidney issues. Im hoping it is just a stone. Having a CT to find out. Im hoping that the little dot that was removed from my thigh for testing has not spread 😢😮
Thinking of you! Very best wishes 🤞🤞
Inspiring ❤🎉
If you get drug therapy, does it have any effect on other cancers in the body? If maybe you had breast , ovarian, or maybe testicular cancer undiagnosed, would it be beneficial to those? I'm asking because the way I have seen it described is it helps take down barriers that prevent your own body from curing itself. Correct me if I'm wrong. I am awaiting a biopsy result and doing research.
Immunotherapy drugs make the immune system more effective in recognising and attacking cancer cells, which helps improve the chance of recovery and reduce cancer recurrence. Immunotherapy is used to treat advanced melanoma and certain other cancers. Every case is individual.
Thank you for posting this presentation. It’s so valuable to have access to this information.
Amazing that people care. I hope people can help. X
I love this dude!!! This content needs smzeus.
How did Melanoma present? It's helpful to know what symptoms you had or what did you notice on yourself that made you act upon it??
Hello It's important to know the skin you're in. See here about checking your skin and changes to look for> melanoma.org.au/about-melanoma/checking-your-skin/ If you notice any new or changing spots, please see your doctor. Best wishes from the MIA team
@@MelanomaInstituteAustralia Thank you!
Pray your doing good!🥰
God bless you x
Slip slop slap everyday
This is easily the most helpful video I've watched since my diagnosis. Thank you and well done, Georgina.
Richard, thank you for taking the time to give your lovely feedback, and we wish you all the best for your melanoma treatment.
I went to see a Dr years ago . " Ah . It's just a fungal infection " . Turned out to be full blown Stage 4 Melanoma a year later . Spread to My brain . Had my thumb amputated , chest port surgically implanted , To date about 16 scans . MRI ,CT ,PET . Seemingly a 1000 needles ,35 infusions ,Truebeam and about 100 hospital visits.. . I think fondly about that caring Dr in the past .. " I hope you have a great life, great golf outings and eat at the finest restaurants " ...
This is why I firmly encourage people to get a 2nd opinion from a Skin Cancer Specialist (specialised dermatologist) instead of trusting their general doctor's opinion if they declare it harmless. Like you, my general doctor looked at the mole and within a few seconds said "don't worry, it's harmless" with complete confidence. I still felt uneasy, but ended up waiting several months to get it looked at by the specialist, who was also slightly skeptical, but still did a biopsy on the basis that I thought it had "gotten blacker" over approx. ~1 year. And waddaya know, the biopsy came back positive for melanoma! Thankfully it was still "in-situ", however my general doctor's confidently wrong opinion could've very well gotten me killed. I am so glad I went for a 2nd opinion, but should have done it MUCH sooner! It was sheer luck that it hadn't advanced to a higher stage during those several months.
MasyaAlah. Thank you for sharing! I hope you and your family are doing great! ❤
We encourage everyone to 'know the skin you're in' and if you've noticed changes or feel something isn't right seek a second opinion.
Well explained
Australians do nothing to protect themselves against the detrimental affects of sun exposure. A country of idiots.
Thank you for this clear video, I booked my husband in to get some of his checked as I was positive he had some dodgy ones. I was lucky I booked in too because the Dr spotted a small freckle on my back low hip area which is slightly raised with a discoloured tail. Booked in to have it removed asap and biopsied. Very thankful we both went and impressed that he clearly knew what he was looking at straight away. There was no doubt to him it looked suspicious and I would of never known. Currently planning to try for a second child but thinking of putting life on hold until we know what the plan is, if any. I like to be informed so I don’t panic and this video helped me understand exactly how the journey starts. I just wish these checks were like visiting the dentist twice a year as I had the preconception that it was something to worry about when I’m older.
Thank you for sharing your story. Yes, melanoma can affect all ages and it's important to know the skin you're in. 90% of melanomas are cured by surgery if detected early. Hope all is well. Best wishes.
Melanoma can turn a life upside down . I went in to get my thumb looked at . Under the thumb nail it was getting dark and the nail was crumbling .. The Dr told me It was a fungal infection . I even asked " Can this be possibly melanoma ? " . And was told No !! . It got worse and bled one day after I hit it . Went to a hand surgeon a year later . Biopsied . Melanoma . Quickly they biopsied my lymphs , scanned my body and brain . It had spread to my brain .Stage 4 . Been 2 1/2 years . 16 scans , 32 infusions ,seemingly a 1000 needles , amputation of thumb ,chest port ,. Over a,$1,000,000 in medical . . It was just a thumb
My mum had one on her arm she got it cut out at rpa big mistake it spread to her brain 30 tumours back in January 2019 she went to hospital the entire family broke down 😭 she died 4 months later too far advanced the radiation and immutherpy didn’t work seeing her not be able to pick up a fork was devestating
Dear Greg So sorry to hear about your mum and understand how difficult it is for your family. If detected early 90% of melanomas are cured by surgery. I'm sorry this was not the case for your mum. Very best wishes.
@@MelanomaInstituteAustralia so if she went to thr melanoma institute she would have had a better chance of surviving
My wife Aruna diagnosed with melanoma yesterday/After biopsy of a week in India /3mm is thickness and first seen on the last finger of left foot on down side one month ago.3mm means 2B stage?!
We are sorry to hear about Aruna being diagnosed with melanoma. It is good that it was detected, and we wish her a good recovery following surgery.
My mother is affected with desmoplastic melonama what's it's diagnostic?
Hello I'm sorry we cannot give medical advice on this channel. Very best wishes to your mother.
I recently had a melanoma scare, and I am so thankful and appreciative for the work your institute does. I hope you all know just how treasured a service you are providing to so many people who are facing seemingly terrifying circumstances.
Thank you so much and we hope all is OK with you.
I had a melanoma scare which turned out to be reality . Should have seen the look on my oncologist face when he told me It had spread to my brain and was Stage 4 . . He would later tell me " They are surprised I am still alive "
@@IVORY123100 Hope you are well now.
Thanks. So. Much.
Congrats 🥳
Excellent explanation . thank you .
Her first name is Professor?
Professor Georgina Long. Her first name is Georgina.
@@MelanomaInstituteAustralia Oh I get confused when people say my name is and then put their profession first and then their actual name. Kooky.
How long does it take for the immunotherapy Nivolumab 12 month treatment take to leave your system??
Hi Col Hope you have responded well to treatment. Unfortunately I can't answer individual medical questions on UA-cam. Have your asked your health professional? Best wishes
Just told today that for the 3rd time my cancer has come back at age 43.I am a stage 4 patient now and I just wanted to say continue to help everyone in need and thank you for the uplifting video you posted.
How are you doing?
What were your symptoms with this please?
What do you do when you know your Moles are changing in size on both arms , but your doctor shows no concern and you live where there is only one other doctor within 100 km?
Hello If you wanted a second opinion can you go to a regional centre, or talk to a doctor via telehealth? Best wishes.
Go as far as you need to go to get checked. Nothing is more important than that.
Hi mine was found in the brain. A malignant melanoma brain tumour. The size of a golf ball. It was found from a stroke and massive brain bleed. It was removed and I had radiation. And a lymph node in groin had it in. I was given 6 months or have immunotherapy, as I was told there was no cure. They could not find any melanoma on my skin and nothing showing on petscan etc. They said it must have entered into my body by a pinhole size. It's been 2 years and so far the immunotherapy has stopped it metastating into any other organ. But it's in my blood. Your story has given me hope. Thank you.
God bless you! You are such a brave woman. I was just diagnosed with melanoma too.
Dear Jenny So sorry to hear about your diagnosis and very best wishes for your treatment. Will pass your message to Anne.
👉Your video is very beautiful 👌👌👌👌 .Your videos. I like it a lot. I've been trying to talk to you for a long time. I am waiting for your response. Please give me a chance to talk to you. 🙏🙏🙏..////...
Yes skin cancer also involves dermatology along with the usual people you'd expect to find involved in cancer.They also deal with rare cancers like Mycosis Fungoides which are Lymphomas which,in the early stages at least, manifest on the skin looking like ezecma or psoriasis.
Crystal clear, beautifully presented
Thank you David!
Please always get your moles checked out. Sadly Melanoma can kill. I am still fighting it since 2019. When I was young sunscreen wasn't even invented. And I live in Scotland and every Wednesday on my day off I would sunbathe. Never thinking that it could come to this. I was told I have it in my liver and lymph nodes. Yesterday I got those lymph nodes cut out and I am in so much pain tonight. But at least I am home with my husband and my beautiful daughter comes every day. Next is seeing an Oncologist to be put on a tablet form called Dabrafenib-Trametinib for a year. As my surgeon removed 13 lymph nodes and 9 came back positive. 😔 But before I even start them I have to get a CT scan. Which should have been done after my surgery. I have to get my heart checked regularly as this is one of the many side effects. Whoever would have thought that the small mole on my back would have done so much damage. But with Melanoma it can appear anywhere in your body. Stay safe everyone. With love. 🌹
Dear Davina Thank you for sharing your story, and very best wishes for your treatment. x
@@MelanomaInstituteAustralia Thankyou so much for your kind words. With love. 🌹
