How will I feel?

I am a 28 yr old female who was diagnose this past Oct. with stage 3 melanoma. Lymph nodes in both my left groin and my left pelvic region were taken out. Two nodes in my groin and two in my pelvic tested positive. I am about to start Interferon and it quite honestly scares me. Can anyone tell me what to expect and how I will most likely feel? I know everyone reacts differently....I was just hoping to get an idea.

Thanks,
Heather
