Hi I finished my 4th round of biochemo treatments about 10 days ago. My biochemo consisted of Temador, IL2 and Interferon injections. Hospitalized in ICU for 5 days each time.
I still have a luump in my leg which I think is more tumor and its getting larger. I do ultrasound for a living and have been following the lumps-big change in the last 10 days.
Stage 3C ulcerated lesion, single micromet in sentinel node. 1 month hose dose interferon failed. 2nd surgery 7-1-11 lump removed from current spot that had melanoma cells and was falling apart.

Will get PET/CT either tomorrow or monday alson w brain MRI.
I'm freaking out. Dr. mentioned a bx for sure last week when I was in hospital and mentioned Yervoy ? combined w something else. He didn't elaborate.
I'm BRAF and C kit negative. Dr. said I'm positive for NRAS but I didn't see that on my copy of report. Test also said my tumor was sensitive to Temador.
Any thoughts?????
