    Hi y'all,

    Second ipi on Friday. So far, it's been smooth.

    My neck is VERY lumpy with nodes. I choose to believe they are shrieking "no, no, I"m dying" as ipi kicks melanoma's butt!

    Other than some moderate sleep issues, I'm feeling well. Husband is still having issues (ear infection now), which makes me smile. Who's the sickly one?? He's basically been sick since Memorial Day!

    Praying that everyone who is doing ipi, scans, IL-2, interferon, etc has excellent news and no side effects. We can do this, YES WE CAN!

    And, as a side note, I really enjoy the "small" stuff a lot more these days. Ballet recitals, kids starting their first jobs, Father's day. I'm just happy to be here for all of it.

      Hi Tracy Lee,

       

      I'm very happy to hear that the second infusion of Ipi has been smooth so far.  Hoping it continues that way and is doing its thing to ole mel.  

      And, yes, I think many of us see life differently since our mel diagnosis.   We take time to smell the roses and don't take much for granted.  So many events seem to have much more meaning.

       

      Keep us posted.

       

      Stay Strong

      TracyLee,

      You've got the right attitude. Your immune system is kicking into high gear, and I'll bet soon you'll see those suckers shrinking into nothing! Go Posse! ; )
