I recently had surgery to have a stage IB nodular malignant melanoma removed off my leg. I am 28 years old and otherwise very healthy. When I asked my oncologist if he would recommend any other treatment, the only other treatment option he said there was for me was Interferon. He said it would only increase my survival rate from 90% to 92.9% and I would feel as if I have the flu.
At first glance this seems like a very easy no. But I want to make sure I am making the best-informed choice.
Advice????
Oh, and clinical trials. Which I am interested in, and checking in to. Comments welcome on that, too.
Thanks, Laura
