      Hi, thanks for your reply. Im from Ireland and I’m not sure wether my oncologist is a melanoma specialist. I was only offered interferon.. it was that or wait and i couldnt take the chance.. even if the chance was as low as 4%. Ive only recently had my genes tested.. they said it could take up to 5 months to return. Im 23 and I’ve never been reckless in the sun or used a sunbed. My uncle passed away 8 years ago from what started as melanoma and spread to other sites and other members of the family had it.. so im pretty sure its gene related. But i won’t know until gene results come back. I’ve to see my oncologist this month and I’ll definately ask about the other treatments you mentioned. Thank you.
