Dean in Georgia Thu, 29 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT Good Afternoon, So sorry to hear about your brother. My husband is being treated at the Moffitt Cancer and Research Center, located in Tampa, Florida. They have a wonderful Melanoma Center. Everyone is very nice and knowledgable in this area. The phone number is 1-800-456-3434. Dr Daud is a good doctor. If you need a surgeon, Dr. Dessureault is a great surgeon. Be blessed and get busy. Don't accept no for an answer. Gwilli7 Fri, 30 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT Friday he has to start a treatment. Arm 1 Interferom Alpha-26 Arm 2 cisplatin vinblastine DTIC plus interluekin-2 Alpha-2b and G-CSF He is in stage 4 .They told my sister-in-law they would put the infro in the computer and it would asign him a treatment.none of these sound good have heard inteferon is a waste of time. There is just so many side effects. Spider_lily Sat, 01 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT Google: MPIP (Melanoma Patient Information Page).
