You would not necessarily be aware of cancer spread before it got to the brain. Once cancer cells metastasize, they can do anywhere. Including the brain. She could’ve felt perfectly fine until she had some symptoms (headache, blurry vision), etc. Her doctor has probably now done a full body scan + bone scan to check for metastasis in other organs and the bones. But yes, totally possible it was melanoma with metastasis to the brain.

Also possible it was a second cancer. Did she say if it was benign or malignant?

Is this something she is likely to survive and make a full recovery? I truly don’t know - it sounds horribly grim

I don’t know but I have heard that melanoma is one of the deadliest cancers. Once it gets to the brain I believe it’s considered stage IV. It’s very sad and scary.

If they are melanoma cancer cell tumors that spread to her brain, then yes it is stage 4. My friend survived this by having the tumors removed and then taking a biologic drug. I hope she survives.
