Hi Munshkin, I was diagnosed with stage 3C melanoma last year, I had a lump, not a mole, which had a Breslow thickness of 4.7mm, ulcerated and had spread to my sentinel lymph node.

I also was given the choice of immunotherapy or targeted therapy. I chose the targeted as if problems occurred such as diabetes, they can be reversed after treatment finishes, with immunotherapy, if you develop for example diabetes, you tend to have it for life.

Moderator, please correct me if I'm wrong. 

Luckily I've only had nausea and some diarrhoea. 

I am on the medication, Dabrafenib and Trametininb, for a year, scans so far have been clear. I will live with the fear of it returning but hope and pray the targeted therapy has done the job of switching off those mutated cells.

Good luck with your treatment, whatever you choose will be right for you. 

I decided on the targeted therapy and started on Saturday.  Unfortunately I felt I was hit with a sledge hammer.

Severe chills and high temperature, so the doctor had to check if I had an infection.

I have stopped the treatment for few days and will start again tomorrow.  

Has anyone else had this problem?
