    What is overall survival when having neck disection for primary back neck. Also 25 rounds radiation. Tried interferon high dose made it two treatments and made me sick. No other options for stage 3 in canada.

    Having neck disection and radiation does it really help melanoma and kill it.

      Is it possible to travel to the Cleveland Clinic for treatment? Stage 3 you can get IPI.  I did it and did not get sick. BMS may help you with the cost of IPI. I did a clinical trial and BMS paid for all my drugs and treatment but this was before IPI was approved for stage 3. 

      Please look into your options.

        Canadians travel to the US all the time for health care. If you're interested, I would give Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) a call and ask them if that's something they would help out with. Their customer service number is 1-800-332-2056.
