Hi y'all,

Anyone else have little "zit" type bumps, extremely painful, that send burning zaps up your head?

Onc doc says it's melanoma attaching to nerve endings (lots of surgery in that area).

Hurts like the devil! Taking Neurontin to "calm" them down, and Oxy for pain.

Terrible time trying to sleep, just call me Sleepless in Delaware!

  SID, I look forward to hearing you're sleeping with NED.
  
  I'm sorry you're in such a painful place and no rest either. I hope it's a normal side effect for your treatment and not what your doc says (they can be wrong remember!). May tonight be better.
  
  Lord, in Your mercy, take Tracy's pain, burning, and sleeplessness. Bring her peace, rest, and better days. And, please, let her treatments do what they're supposed to do to. Thank You. Amen.
  
  Grace and much peace to you Fearless Leader,
