Melanoma does not let you forget..

After a successful tumor removal, my dad has hit another melanoma bump overt the last several weeks.

His drain clogged and the local hospitals/surgeons would not remove another surgeron’s handy work. (He traveled from Vegas to Huntsman Cancer Institute to have the tumor removed. As a result, he was septic, had cellulitis and the “worst type” of staph infection along with E.Coli. Finally with some navigational clues he took out the drain himself and went home with Push antibiotics.

It is for every win, melanoma reminds you it is there. We are now back in Utah for the surgeons to take a look and check his range of motion. New scans in Dec.

Has anyone tried the IV cocktails that are suppose to help boost and combat fatigue? If so, did they work?

He just feels like absolute crap.

I’m not sure what IV cocktails you are referencing for fatigue?
