Still have melanoma?: If sleeping is the problem- great! see your doc for a list a behavior modification to help sleep, drugs last resort. If lymph edema is problem- compression, massage, time. Consider free lymph node transfer if persists (~50% success). If you have distant spread please ask your doc to help you enroll in the anti-pd 1 trials for metastatic melanoma, 4 places in the us, dana farber (boston) is one.
