Has anyone been treated with PEGinterferon Alpha 2b and Temezolomide for Melanoma?

I am 18 years old. I have been diagnosed with Melanoma, and it has spread to my lymph nodes. Because of this, I need chemo.I will start chemo soon using the combination of PEG -interferon alpha 2b and Temezolomide. I have a port to receive the PEG-interferon alpha 2b once a week for 8 weeks. I will receive Temezolomide every day for 6 weeks, and then I will have 2 weeks off. I will repeat all of this for a total of 56 weeks. What are my side effects going to be like? Will I lose my hair?
