Pam, that is a very interesting theory. I'm starting to think it is that, as well. The thing about melanoma is that when it's found just on the skin and it hasn't metastasized yet, it's very treatable. But once it has metastasized it is next to impossible to battle. If it's in the lymphatic system, it could produce tumors in other places in the body. Maybe this is what she has. Maybe it has produced a melanoma tumor in her brain and Der will have to remove it.
Other surgeons would have to remove any other tumors that it has made in other parts of the body, and many lymph nodes, as well, if it is indeed melanoma.
Melanoma can be a nasty type of cancer, once it spreads.

Seriously, how stupid have some people got to be to NOT get what that line is actually saying?
It says DEREK is quitting, NOT PATRICK.
In other words: Dr. Shepherd might consider a different career path, which - if it should occur - does not mean he will no longer be part of the show. (as greys already stated correctly)

I'm sure he won't quit for long. He'll miss being a doctor after a while. Mer and Der both need a vacation and some fun time. They never show them doing anything fun. The only "proposal" I can think of is Mark and Lexie and if that happens it will totally ruin it for Derek to propose to Meredith.

Dereck will come back, because he'll be the only one who can save Izzie. I bet it has something to do with her brain, even if its not a tumor. After all she was hullicentaing. Seems like Dereck is having a hard time keeping it together, maybe he needs to see Meredith's shrink, lol. I Love Patrick Dempsey and if he left, that would be the end of Grey's Anatomy.

you people are all so mindless!!! Derek and Meredith together is proably one of the most over drawn storylines in TV history, will they, wont they, its seriously just Ross and Rachel from Friends again, NO OFFENCE SHONDA ITS BEEN DONE BEFORE. I really hope that Addison and Derek do reunite, because at least the couple have in turn progressed, what progression has meredith made, she still goes on about how they are meant to be.
So please Shonda, throw a spanner in the works and put Derek and Addison back on track, well all secretly deep down really hope that stick figure ends it with Derek.

Ouch. Well, i think Derek and Meredith make a very cute TvMcCouple. I prefer Derek when he's with Meredith rather than Addison. Not that i hate Addison or anything, i think Addison's a really good doctor though. But anyway, everybody have different perspective in life, so yeah. I strongly hope that Derek won't quit working in SGH.

I believe Izzie will only let Derek operate on her, which leads to a succesful surgary, and Izzie will be the one who convinces Derek to come back. Also I hope Derek proposes, but Mark will propose to Lexie, It's in Marks blood to ruin it for Derek.
