      I am a melanoma survivor,  5 years out!    For the last few months I have had abdominal and pelvic pains/discomfort and am finding it hard to sleep at night and only able to lie on my left side very briefly.    It's all on the left side from beneath my rib cage and lower and around into my back.    I had two ultrasounds; a couple of months apart and nothing showed up, then my doctor followed up with a CT scan, which first necessitated a blood test for Creatinine levels.   The results showed a flagged eGFR rate at 57; Glomerular filtration rate.    I should hear from the CT results in the next few days.   Has anyone had any kidney issues arise post treatment for melanoma; interferon.  Am I just getting over concerned with no reason or is there any connection between my results thus far and a possible recurrence?

      I am just wanting to be prepared should this be round 2 with melanoma.

      Thank you for sharing, it does help.
