I'm stage 3 metastatic melanoma. When will it stop?

I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in November. I've had 2 surgeries now and I'm stage 3 metastatic melanoma. Scans post surgery and lymph node biopsy seemed positive and we think they got it all and didn't go past the lymph node.  So I've agreed to a year of immunotherapy which is due to start in the next couple of weeks. I'm really worried about how that's going to affect me. 
I'm 10 weeks post surgery and have my 3rd infection now on my scar site.  I just don't seem to heal right. I'm so miffed with being in pain and being unreliable for work. I feel like it's taken over my life.

    unfortunately, I got my recent biopsy results yesterday from a lump I found in my groin. Confirmed melanoma again. I'm to carry on with my immunotherapy and have a further PET scan then they will decide what to do. Im goimg to request a full groin dissection I think.  The immunotherapy itself hadn't been as awful as anticipated. A few very minor side effects only and I'm pleased I'm lucky enough to be having it. Contact me anytime.
