Drove in numerous times from Louisiana and was a patient from last April through September (Melanoma: Doctor's Glitza & Ross).

Stage 3c melanoma.

Partial lymph node dissection in groin.

Within a week of my first Yervoy infusion, I developed colitis which beat me down for about a month.  In the four weeks since then, I've been on large amounts of prednisone to counter the assault on my digestive tract. It was effective in managing the colitis, but has created a whole new set of problems (insomnia, weight gain, cramping, fatigue, headaches, blurred vision).

Frustrated, because despite the fact I'm supposedly "cancer free", I've spent the last 3 months delaing with symptoms (often completely debilitating) of the treatment that may or may not be treating the cancer I may or may not have.
