@wgv Good nutrition is important so it's great that you're keeping food down! I see you had mentioned last week that you live near Mayo in FL; is that where you're receiving care? I only ask because as part of care at Mayo you are eligible for a nutritional consult if that's of interest to you. Perhaps that's also available at other facilities where immunotherapy is being provided.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I also believe you stated this is for melanoma found in your ear. Ideally, the immunotherapy will work on reducing - or even resolving that completely - so those little tweaks of discomfort may possibly no longer be bothersome. And sometimes mind distraction techniques, such as meditation, can help ease such discomfort. Perhaps you can try that, or would like direction in learning more.

Many people associate pain with a diagnosis of cancer; do you think perhaps this is what triggered your thoughts?

Being treated at cancer specialist of north Florida. Had nutritional help from ascension at st Vincent's hospital. Blood levels low again so I'm getting fluids now. That gives me a boost

Also melanoma is in my gut, right lung, adrenaline glands and liver. Fighting on all fronts
