A member asked:

20 year old a son had stage 3 melanomia. now he doesn't eat, stomach hurts and he is passing out.. ct scan came back ok. what could be wrong?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Incomplete workup: He could have metastasis anywhere. Ct scan of what organ? He needs an MRI of brain and a pet-ct scan to rule out metastatic disease. This information and workup as presented is incomplete.

Not sure: The symptoms you describe could be attributed to many things. Your son might need to see an gastroenterologist. Endoscopy may provide more information than the ct did.
