      Shaz I was diagnosed liver mets dec 2009. The doctor immediately got me enrolled in the YM155 study. After 6 weeks I was tested and the study failed for me. They told me the best bet was Bio-Chemo. I started treatment in March. I have had a 70 to 80% reduction in tumor sizes throughout my body. I am on maintenance IL-2 now and back to work full time.

      Everyone has responded to make sure you are seeing a melanoma specialist, I concur that is so important.

      Please stay on top of your situation. Have a hard talk with your doctor and feel good about your decision whatever that may be.

      Thoughts and Prayers for You and Family Shaz.
