      Hello Everyone,

      I am on my second day of Temodar and I am in so much pain.  My head back and neck is killing me.  These are all sights of my melanoma.  My throat is closing up again and I can barely talk or swallow again.  I didn't feel like this when I was on the Mek/Tanfinlar, it actually helped my throat and head.  I don't want to quit the temodar if this is normal.  It's like my mets are inflammed and causing me pain.  Has anyone done temodar with similar effects.  I feel like I am dying.  I have a call in to my doctor to see what I should do.

      As far as getting gamma knife again, they won't do it because one of my brain mets is too close to my eye.  They will do external radiation if my vision starts to get affected.

      Thanks for your help.

      Denise
