Cancer is not an individual disease it effects the family as a whole. My husband has melanoma and is undergoing treatment. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. She sounds likes a fighter.
You are going to have to learn to stay in the present. Enjoy life day by day, hour by hour and sometimes it will be minute by minute. It's okay to cry in front of your mom and let her comfort you. Some days she may cry in front of you and need your comfort.
My best wishes and prayers.

I started the Peginterferon July 2011 after being diagnosed with stage IIIB malignant melanomia. I have undergone two surgeries, one to remove the cancer and the other to remove nine lymph-nods under my right arm.
On the Sylatron a/k/a Peginterferon I am experiencing major fatigue. Tired, doesn't begin to desribe it. Somedays I cannot hold my head up for long periods of time. It usually lasts 4 days before I start to feel somewhat better. Then I usually get, maybe, one good day and it's time for another injection and here we go again.
I was told there is no cure for melanoma and that the Sylaton will only prolong my life. However, I am beginning to wonder if it's worth it.
Other symptoms are depression, food tastes different or has no taste at all, small bumps or rash on my trunk area and they itch. Additionally, headaches and muscle pain and loss of muscle mass.

Hello, I’m going through the same treatments. I’ve been since July. The depression thing and fatigue was my worst enemy 🙁 I have switched meds from paxil to cymbalta and have great results, no more pain in legs and hips. 30 mg. Per day. I have 1 shot on Thur. And stay on the couch that day and rest over the weekend, back to work on Monday.I take a vitamin called Core 1Daily and it seems to help but I still get pretty tired by days end. Thanks for any info you have, hopefully we can help each other through this time in our life.Stay positive!!!

Thanks for your reply.I have been on Peginterferon since July, 8 weeks of mega does then cut in half since. I get my shot on Thursday and usually spend couple of days on the couch and then up and at em. 🙂 No sickness just fatigue and dizziness like yourself.Just now starting to see a little rash on chest and back. Good luck with your treatments! If you need someone to talk to feel free to e-mail me. Please put something about treatments in subject matter so I won't delete you……….. P.S are you taking anything for depression? They started me on Paxil just as a precausion, no problems so far.
