daca1964

Hi there daca1964, i was wondering if you could help me. I am at the point in the MEL process where i have to decide to do interferon or not too. I was originally stage 3a but after further testing they say im closer to stage 3b because of a bit of ulceration. That small amount is making me freak out a little. If you could tell me why you choose to do interferon and some of your experiences with it i would really appreciate it. Thank you Bria

Hi daca, we have an opportunity for melanoma patients to participate in a survey/study about their treatments they have taken. It's a simple survey that will take about 90 minutes by phone, if you qualify to take the survey you will be paid $200.00. If you check your email you will find an invitation to take the survey to see if you will qualify. Let me know if you have any questions.

I am BRAF and CKIT negative, so no treatment yet

hi
I have cancer in the mucosa, not in the skin. I am not a sun or tanning person. this is just a wild cancer that I just got, out of the blue. I had the tumor removed in Jan., but no treatment, yet.
Good luck to you too!

Hi! I just finished treatment last week. One year of interferon. What did you experience when you finished your treatment? Did you get your energy level back or after a bit of time? Were there any other after effects that you noticed? What type of after treatment did your oncologist recommend?

Hope all is well also!

Hello neighbor. Hope all is well.

Thank you for the reply you gave me. My hubby has stage 3 melanoma. the first tumor was located on his right sole (right foot). It started to bother him and when we finally saw an oncologist, the cancer has already spread to his lymph nodes. The docs in Romania decided not to give him interpheron, but DTIC (dacarbazine) 6 rounds every 3 weeks. First round was not DTIC but Taxol and Carbo (the next combo, after DTIC, because DTIC was not available in their farmacy!!), we have 1 more round and then all we have to do is wait. The meds I mentioned in my question are given to stage 4 patients because of the side effects or something (they are considered risky or at least that's what the doc explained to us) but I didn't know about that at the time I asked the q. Have a nice day, I hope we stay in touch. Greetings from Romania
