Hi All,

Another bad news for me. Melanoma has come back to me in Right Side Level II and Level IVLymphnodes within 3 months of my 2nd Surgery. Now I need to undergo 3rd Surgery to go for the Neck Dissection of Lymphnodes. This means I am moving to Stage III and have high possibility of getting into Stage IV.Anyway Now  I am going for a surgery. But I need your advice on how Can I come out of this Melanoma successfully as I have two young kids. Whether Inteferon would help or do we have any other better medicines or mechanisms to come out of this Successfully.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks,

Hi All,

My Consultant suggested to do ImmunoHistoChemistry for C-KIT and it had come as positive in my specimen. He said there is no need to do C-KIT mutation and we could take the C-KIT inhibitor Imatinib oral tablet. I am taking this oral tablet for last 10 days and hope to get some good results. Meanwhile what are all the side effects of this tablet and how we could manage either by having a specific diet or in some other way.

Thanks,
