    My family member was recently diagnosed with Melanoma.  She is very young (21) and the tumor was very agressive.  It had a depth of 4.24mm (but they did a shave biopsy so it could be even deeper), it was ulcerated and it had a mitotic rate of 9.  Her PET scan was clean, and her lymph nodes looked good during the surgery, but we are waiting for the final results.  Given the seriousness of the tumor, I think it is important that we know all the treatment options to try to prevent this from coming back.  Since we are new, I am looking into the clinical trials and inter

    My family member was recently diagnosed with Melanoma.  She is very young (21) and the tumor was very agressive.  It had a depth of 4.24mm (but they did a shave biopsy so it could be even deeper), it was ulcerated and it had a mitotic rate of 9.  Her PET scan was clean, and her lymph nodes looked good during the surgery, but we are waiting for the final results.  Given the seriousness of the tumor, I think it is important that we know all the treatment options to try to prevent this from coming back.  Since we are new, I am looking into the clinical trials and interferon, but wondering if anyone here has any experience or advice for things we should look into.  Thank you so much!
