my experience

found mole just below left breast 08/2009, diagnosed melnoma 10/20009, 11/2009 first surgery removed cancer and pulled 3 lymphs one tested positive.12/2009 second surgery pulled 25 lymphs and tested neg on all. 01/2011 started daily interferon through iv 02/2011 in home shots 3 days a week.

infusion first day got really bad muscle cramps second day got chills really bad and fever and it got better from there really tired but made it.

the 3 days a week shots are harder for me I have had hair loss,head aches, throwing up sometimes not all the time, chills, fever, no energy and just feel yucky everday light headness, nasea, thinking process slows down and I forget alot now.  I did not have weight loss. I gained weight I was very active to not active and i think that is why. I work everyday im an office manager it can be done but it is hard.

If you have any more questions or want more details of what my expericnce is let me know [email protected]

I was diagnosed 10/2009 stage3a

I did one month iv interfeon and I'm at 6 months with home injections

Melnoma is a tough road noone has anwers for you and finding info is difficult there are no guarentees. Your sick of being sick and you don't know if what you are doing is worth it. But your too scared to stop treatment because what if's… Everyone is different and deals with it in there own way.  I find that people around me forget that I'm sick because I try to lead a normal life. It is a fight for me everyday to get through my day with a smile on my face. But I am too scared too stop.  My biggest thing is feeling alone my family really isn't there for me and my boyfriend thinks if you dont talk about it it will go away.  I feel like everyone is tired of me not feeling good so I fake through my day. I consider myself a strong woman and I think you need to know you are not alone there are so many of us who are searching and wanting answers but I find melnoma is no guarantees and you need to hold your head up and go at it one day at time. If you want to know what I have delt with treatment let me know.
