Wow, well it didn't work for us. Melinda went through the year long treatment as you described. The original site was 6mm deep Clarks level 5 ulcerated on her back. She couldn't get a break and now has had a middle lobectomy of her right lung due to distant metastis. Originally she was offered an experimental cocktails of 5 drugs including Interferon, IL2, DITC and a couple others they didn't say. It meant a week in the hospital then three weeks off for three cycles. Very hard on the body. The oncologist wasn't able to predict odds so she opted for the standard Interferon treatment. This oncology groups claims many years of experience with a 22% "curative" rate in cases like these. What ever you decide, it can't be easy because if it doesn't work out you will want to say what if I tried the other thing. You just can't predict what Melanoma will do but you can put obstacles in its way. At leas that is the way I see it. After the last surgery the next obstacle will be Leukine. If more tumors pop up there will be other obstacles we can still put up. Best of luck and blessings to you and yours.
