Hi Tracy,

I did inf for 5 months then had to stop because of suicidal tendencies and just really feeling like crap.  I was disappointed in myself that I couldn't make it all the way thru and still feel bad about it.  Mel came back within a year.  I was predisposed to depression prior to Inf … they warned me it might be difficult for me and it was.  Hope Bill does well with it and I hope you do too.  It was difficult for my family to see me so uncomfortable but they were wonderful and made a huge difference for me.  Best of luck to both of you.  My prayers are with you

Hi Angela ..  I'm new to this website but saw your post.  I have something similar going on in my leg where I had surgery.  I've had two surgeries in the same location, the last one in April of this year.  In June, I had a small lump show up in my thigh area.  Went to onc but he didn' t seem too concerned since he couldn't really feel it.  It kept changing size and he insisted that mel doesn't just come and go like that.  Okay …  what do I know!  I'm still freaked out.  Then, since June, I've had three more little lumps show up.  They keep changing size too, sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller.  I think they seem kind of bluish to me, but don't know if it's just my paranoia.  I have been super fatigued since the first one showed up in June though, which has me worried, since that's been a characteristic of my mel the last two times I've had it.  I see my onc in two weeks and I'm hoping he'll schedule a PT scan, or a least a needle biopsy.  Hope yours turn out to be nothing grim.  I can definitely relate to your fear around it.  I worry about mine all the time.  You are in my thoughts and prayers for sure.
