              Hi… I had my LND on May 1st. on my left groin… . All lymph nodes clear!!! I still have the drain and quite a bit of bruising… I did travel this weekend to a melanoma symposium in Seattle and did ok.. I din't drive but spent much of the time in Back seat with my leg up with ice.. Any suggestion for ways to decrease the swelling…??

              I am certainly getting better and am looking forward to heading back to work…

              Good luck with your LND tomorrow.. All the information can be overwhelming at first..at least for me… but so helpful.. and what a wonderful community of brave men and women…Karen

                    Thank you for this information. I am stage 4 and just had my 3rd of 4 Ipi treatments. So far I have a rash and mild digestive issues. Since I have sensitive skin my onc anticipates increased skin issues starting in a week or so. I will take some allegra daily to address those problems .

                    My orginal melanoma was  found 2 years ago on my  toe and removed in April  2012. I was Ned till a routine PET scan in Feb showed two small  lesions in my bones. One on the scalp and one on the rib. Because the mets are 1) in my bone, not good…. and are very small, good …. I am not eligible for clinical trial. Had been hoping to do the combo trial with ipi and PD-1. I have been watching for PD-1 to be approved and had hoped to take it following ipi. Now if that is approved and i am eligible to repeat ipi do you think the combo could work?

                                I started interferon 2 weeks ago.. I am doing Peg interferon as recommended by my Melanoma specialist at SCAA. It is a once a week shot … I also have some side effects but find it very managable.. I take tylenol, drink lots of water  and make sure I get enough rest. It allows me to work and also can go and visit w/o being tied to the clinic.

                                I am 62 and a school counselor.

                                How is your mom doing?
