Way cool!
Let's see, that was four weeks of high dose five times a week which equals 20 bags, then 48 weeks of shooting yourself up three times a week to make it one year…………….or 52 weeks.
So, 48 times three equals 152+ the 20 bags equals ………………………………….survey SAYS……….one hundred and seventy two times you shot up.
THAT is what I call dedication.
I gotta believe that each and every time you thought of melanoma.
Now, you have earned your freedom and I so hope your mind and body can focus even more ahead of melanoma.
Great job.
Cheers,

Thats a great accomplishment. Tou should feel a whole lot safer after making it all the way through. I was only able to finish 3 months of interferon due to complications. I hope you are one of the responders to the treatment and Melanoma does not visit you again. I for one have not had a reoccurance yet and I am one year from being diagnosed so I am hoping that 3 months worth did the trick for me. Who knows maybe we can both put this desease on our back buners and keep breathing easy now.

I am stage 3 and I am thinking about treatment. Have not seen an oncologist yet. But I think they will talk about interferon. How was it for you and were you able to work?

Wow thats great that you were able to work the whole time. I am a floor nurse at the local hospital and I work 12 hr shifts also. Maybe I could only work 8hr shifts at first. I dont have much sick time left and I am getting anxious. My drain is still in and draining about 60mls/day, and it apparently has to be less than 30mls/day till they can remove it. Too much to think about! Thanks for responding and that encourages me that people can actually work thru the treatment. Take care!
