        Talk to your primary care physician either in person or by phone. You are having many symptoms and suffering from severe headaches everyday. You should be checked to get to the root of the problem. 

        Best wishes.

              Lori,

              I am very sorry for your loss of your dear friend Will. Reading your posts, it is clear that you did everything you could to help Will find effective treatments for this disease. Having been where you are now with a friend, I can tell you that as hard as we try, it is not always possible to beat it but that diminishes neither your efforts nor Will's. In spite of the odds, and the naysayers you encountered, you maintained hope to be able to do all you could for Will and support him through difficult treatments. Thank you for looking out for Will. You were both fortunate to have shared this friendship. May his memory be a blessing.

                  Hi Lori,

                  Have they checked Will's red blood count lately? My friend David experienced severe fatigue after chemo when his red blood cell count dropped off. He had transfusions twice and this was most helpful in relieving the fatigue. Will might also start to feel better now that the vomiting has stopped. David was always more energetic when he was well hydrated and could enjoy a good meal. And I think you are right about walking. Try to keep him moving, going out for walks while the weather is still nice is a good idea. Good nutrition and exercise combat muscle weakness, and exercise causes the body to release norepinephrine, serotonin and endorphins which make us feel better.

                  Sending good thoughts your way. You are doing a great job, and I think that Will's response to his current treatment is reason for hope. 

                  Best wishes,

                  Julie

                      Dear bodrum,

                      Are you located in Bodrum, Turkey? If yes, I did a google search for melanoma treatment in Turkey and found several articles on melanoma treatment in Turkey from researchers at the Institute of Oncology, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey. with this email: [email protected].

                      I wish you the best. I just took a chance in responding because of your username. Bodrum is a lovely place.
