metastatic malignant melanoma

No new listing needed...
Metastatic means that cells from the original tumor have broken away and traveled through the lymphatic system or blood to another part of the body.
I had this diagnosis with the primary tumor being on top of my right foot and 'nests' of melanoma cells found in the lymph nodes in my right groin after a Sentinel Lymph Node biopsy was done.
I'm going to guess that your daughters Melanoma was staged at least Stage III based on the fact it's spread somewhere else.
