What is stage 4 melanoma skin cancer?

My father recently got some tests back, and the doctor used the term 'stage 4 melanoma skin cancer'. I'm not familiar with what stage 4 specifically implies for this type of cancer. Can someone explain it simply?

While dealing with this advanced skin cancer, keeping the body moving with very light, short evening walks can help keep the spirits high. Just check with your doctor first if the body can handle it.

My family always tries home remedies for skin rashes, but for stage 4 melanoma, please don't use any oils or herbs. Only trust the heavy hospital treatments, and pray for strength.

Let's ban Google searches for medical stuff immediately, guys! It is serious skin cancer that spread, but modern medicine is basically magic now compared to ten years ago, so take a deep breath.

This is definitely not something to discuss casually online. It means the skin cancer has metastasized, so please get a second opinion from a reputable cancer research institute immediately.

At this age, reading about stage 4 skin cancer just makes me want to wrap myself in bubble wrap and stay indoors forever. But seriously, trust the oncologists, not internet horror stories.

If you are facing this, sit down with the family and check what major hospitals are covered under your TPA or insurance. PET scans and biopsy costs can add up fast, so early financial planning helps.
