Hi Pam, welcome to Connect. I'd like to introduce you to a few fellow members who have experience with melanoma. First, please meet @lynnkay1956 who is also living with stage 4 melanoma, as well as @lindabf and @psfrazier who are caregivers to family members who have metastatic melanoma. @texas7777 and @cynaburst have had early stage melanoma.
Pam, are currently not taking any treatment?
We look forward to getting to know more about you.

Thanks for asking. It seems better. I do have more energy but I still find I can only do so many tasks in a day. We are getting ready to sell our house and move back to Wisconsin, so I have been busy cleaning and packing and painting to get everything ready. I do rest when I need to.
Pam

<br>As of Aug.17th after seeing my Oncologist at Mayo he said it would be alright with him if I wanted to stop the Leukine. I had started taking the Leukine in November of 2014. So it's almost 2 years. I was having very little energy while I would be on it. I had to take it for 14 days on and then 14 days off. I could always tell the difference when I was on it. I also have Fibromyalgia so the further along I was on The treatment it seemed to effect my energy level. I have been off since Aug.16th and can really tell the difference. I also gained 20 pounds while on the Leukine. So far I have lost 5. I am happy about that. I will be going every 3 months again for my PET SCANS, which is perfectly ok with me. So I am tumor free since Dec 29, 2014. That was the day of my liver surgery at Mayo. <br>I would love to hear how other people are doing.<br>Best regards,<br>Pam<br>
