Question: How long does it take tendinitis to get better?
Answer: Tendinitis may take weeks to months to go away, depending on the severity of your injury.
Question: Who gets tendinitis?
Answer: Anyone can get tendinitis, but it is more common in adults, especially those over age 40. As tendons age they tolerate less stress, are less elastic, and are easier to tear.

Question: What can you do to feel better during metastatic melanoma treatment?

But listen to your body, and balance rest and activity. Get the kind of emotional support that's right for you. It could be from family, friends, your cancer support group, or a religious group.
Question: What are the symptoms of metastatic melanoma?
Answer: You're more likely to get melanoma if you have: Fair skin, along with lighter hair and eye color Many moles or irregular moles (not beauty marks or small brown blemishes) A family history of melanoma If your melanoma has spread to other areas, you may have: Hardened lumps under your skin Swollen or painful lymph nodes Trouble breathing, or a cough that doesn't go away Swelling of your liver (under your lower right ribs) or loss of appetite Bone pain or, less often, broken bones Headaches, seizures, or weakness or numbness in your arms or legs Weight loss Fatigue Before you have any tests, your doctor will want to know: Why did you come in?
Question: What questions should you ask your doctor about metastatic melanoma?
Answer: Should I have other tests before we decide on a treatment? What treatments do you recommend? What's involved in these treatments? How will I feel? Will I have scars? Will I be able to work while I'm having the treatment? What happens if it doesn't help? Can I take part in clinical trials? Do you have experience treating metastatic melanoma?
Question: What causes melanoma?
Answer: In most cases, melanoma is caused by exposure to ultraviolet ( UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. It damages the DNA of your skin cells, and they start to grow out of control.
Question: How can a clinical trial help with metastatic melanoma?
Answer: These drugs boost your immune system so it can better attack the cancer.
Question: How do you know what treatment is right for metastatic melanoma?
Answer: Although metastatic melanoma is not easy to treat, you do have options. Choosing what's right for you will depend on where and how big the cancer is, what your health is like, and what your wishes are.
Question: What does your doctor check for to diagnose metastatic melanoma?
Answer: The doctor will also check to see if your lymph nodes are enlarged. Lymph nodes are bean-sized glands under the skin in your neck, underarms, and groin. The doctor uses a thin needle to remove a sample of cells. This is called a fine-needle aspiration biopsy. The doctor may also do a lymph node biopsy. This removes the lymph nodes most likely to have cancer cells. In this test, the doctor injects a dye into the area where the potential cancer was. It spreads to the nearest lymph nodes, which are removed and tested. If these lymph nodes, called sentinel nodes, don't have cancer, then it's likely the cancer hasn't spread. The results of these tests help the doctor determine the stage of your cancer and how widespread it is. You and your doctor will decide on the best treatment plan once you know that information.
Question: What drugs are used to help treat metastatic melanoma?
Answer: Some drugs attack a gene called BRAF. About half the people who have melanoma have changes in this gene, which helps cancer cells grow. If you have a tumor with BRAF, these drugs may shrink it and extend your life. They include: Dabrafenib ( Tafinlar) Encorafenib ( Braftovi) Vemurafenib ( Zelboraf) Other drugs block an enzyme called MEK. This enzyme is often overactive in some cancers. These drugs, working in combination with a BRAF inhibitor to attack cancer cells, seem to shrink tumors for a longer period of time: Binimetinib ( Mektovi) Cobimetinib ( Cotellic) Trametinib ( Mekinist) Hearing that your cancer has spread is scary, but a lot of research is underway to find new treatments.
Question: How is immunotherapy used to treat metastatic melanoma?
Answer: These drugs boost your immune system so it can better attack the cancer. You get immunotherapy through an IV or a shot in high doses. It can have serious side effects, but it can also shrink metastatic melanomas and help some people live longer.

Question: What drugs are used in immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma?
Answer: This test uses radioactive material to look for signs of cancer. These can help some people, depending on the size and location of the cancer. It can also be used for late-stage melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Ipilimumab is often used in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor. Nivolumab ( Opdivo) and pembrolizumab ( Keytruda) work by inhibiting the PD-1 protein on cells, which blocks the body's immune system from attacking melanoma tumors. Combination therapy with ipilimumab and either nivolumab or pembrolizumab has been shown to increase overall survival compared to treating with ipilimumab alone.
Question: What should you expect if you have metastatic melanoma?
Answer: So find support and learn about your treatment options. Although metastatic melanoma is not easy to treat, you do have options.
Question: What tests are used to diagnose metastatic melanoma?

Question: What are the goals of treatment for metastatic melanoma?
Answer: You can get the disease on parts of your body that don't get sunlight, though, like the palms of your hands and the retinas of your eyes. Stop it from spreading to new areas. Make you more comfortable.
Question: How is metastatic melanoma diagnosed?
Answer: Have you been diagnosed with melanoma before? You usually get one of three types: Punch biopsy. Excisional biopsy. Your doctor takes out the entire growth. A doctor will look at the growth under a microscope to see how thick it is. Usually, a thicker tumor means the cancer is more serious. Your doctor can help you find a cancer support group.
Question: What is sensory processing disorder and how does it relate to ADHD?
Answer: The occupational therapist might also test your child for something called sensory processing disorder. Kids with ADHD sometimes have more trouble than their peers processing sights, sounds, smells, and other things. But there is some debate as to whether this is an actual disorder.

Question: How do children with sensory processing disorder react to stimulation?
Answer: Some children with the condition pull away from too much stimulation. Others crave even more.
Question: What will an occupational therapist look for when evaluating my child's ADHD?
Answer: During the evaluation, the therapist will look at how ADHD affects your child's: Schoolwork Social life Home life The OT will also do a test to find out your child's strengths and weaknesses. Then they'll recommend ways to address his issues.
