              My mom underwent 4 rounds of biochemo. Agree with previous posters, alert nurses at onset of any symptoms as they can provide meds for almost all to provide comfort. My mom was sedated for the majority of her hospital stay. Once home, the first week was the toughest. The red, burning skin was the most uncomfortable side effect – we used lots of moisturizers and 100% aloe gel.

                          My mom is battling mucosal melanoma (dx 2/12)… We’ve been through biochemo and now on zelboraf. Never ever was life expectancy discussed. We know the diagnosis/prognosis is poor but fighting this illness for as long as possible is our goal! Treating at MD Anderson with an exceptional care team!
