      My mom has been on Zelboraf for about 2weeks and started feeling pain in the tumor on her neck(lymph node).

      Does anyone know if tumor pain also can be a side effect of zelboraf?

      She also had a radiation therapy in that area for your information.

      Thank you.

                About a week or two after my last round of IL-2 I felt some mild twinging pain in my right pectoralis muscle, kind of like I pulled it.  When I went in for my following scans, my one remaining met in that muscle was totally gone.  I suspect the sensation was due to the tumor dying off and becoming necrotic.  I like to think of it as my melanoma's last gasp as my body went on to crush it to oblivion.  I am still NED almost 6 years later smiley
