        She also tested for strep throat and mono. Both came back negative. The thing that keeps running through my mind is I have melanoma and it spread to my lymph nodes and my stomach. I’m just playing the waiting game with these medications to see if they end up helping.

              I went to my doctor a week ago. She prescribed Prilosec for my stomach pains, but it’s not doing anything. I’m still vomiting and I’ve completely lost my appetite. I went 3 days without eating, and when I finally ate yesterday, I couldn’t keep it down. She also prescribed Keflex because I had a lot of mucus, but that isn’t doing much either. My lymph nodes are still swollen, no pain. Two more lymph nodes have swelled up since I saw my doctor. She said to wait two weeks to see if the medications start working. If I’m still feeling sick in a week, I have to go back for further testing.
