Hi I was diagnosed at 69 with Melanoma Am now approaching 71. I had surgery to remove part of my right ear and lenghtly surgery to remove nodes.  I was put on interfueron which was so horrible i had a neighbor bring me to hospital.   At 6 months my surgeon noticed something on my neck and so had another surgery.

tthen I was put on radiation on my neck  which was interrupted when a pimple like thing appeared on my neck.  So another surgery. Now am waiting to restart rediation.

   He  said he wants to put me on Yervoy which scares the hell out of me,  So far I am stage 3 but am do another scan after radiation.  I would like to know if the is still negative if this Yervoy and it's risks are the right treatment.  Am do to see my oncologist  Monday

    I believe I was not put back on interfueon after the surgery is because I was so sick and lost so much weight,

AFter reading your notes I wll have to question my oncologist if this drug is something I should

take now.  I am stage 3 currently receiving radiation on neck area under ear.  What stage are you.

The Yervoy web sight states  'cancer that is metastatic or unrsectable).  She said I will have a scan

after my radiation completes. Previous one have been negative.  I will ask her if we should wait until it.

   But if my doctor says I should have the drug and I declined I would lose that doctor.

HI

        After hearing that I am very scared of the drug.  Have third stage, had some surgeries on my ear and

nodes and neck.  Interfueron treatment  was interrupted to take remove mass on my neck.   Then the surgeron said I should have radiation which is now.  He said after he would recommend Yervoy.

     But so far scans are negative. My oncologist said I will have a scan after radiation.  I feel if is negative I don't know if I want to take that drug because i suffered immensely with interfueron and  am 70
