Good Evening,

I was diagnosed with Melanoma on the scalp in February, 2015. The lesion was excised, as well as some sentinel lymph nodes, of which three tested positive for melanoma.

I continued on quite fine until recently, when a cervical lymph node became enlarged and tested positive for melanoma.

I still felt reasonably well. I started a regimen of Tafinlar and Mekinist about three weeks ago, which was very difficult. I moved from the bed to the couch, with blurring vision and aching joints. It was quite horrible. I was quite unable to function.

Over the past week I have taken a reduced dosage of Tafinlar, after consulting my Doctor. I feel remarkably better and continue to see tumor shrinkage in my neck, which was noticable immediately upon starting the drugs. 

I just thought I would share this. 

All the best,

Jane
