Praying that there is no spreading at all.

A little extra info… The brain is a common area for melanoma to metastasize to, as well the bones/vertebrae of the spine. However it is treatable with specialized radiation such as Cyber Knife and SBRT radiation. Jimmy Carter is a fine example, they found melanoma that had metastasized into his brain when he was 91. He just turned 100.

As always surround yourselves with a good support team of doctors and family.
