        Just got on, after seldom checking site for years, to ask about best care near Phoenix, as we are moving.  I saw this, and am glad to post my husband is 6 years NED.  Removed primary in back and all inguinal and iliac nodes at UCSF. He is stage 3C.  He has lymphedema in left leg, but no recurrence.  Treatment was interferon, stopping one month short of the full year.  Life is good, we are blessed.

              It sounds as though it can vary greatly.  Our doctor just told us sometimes it takes a year.  My husband has done very well, but kept active while taking interferon.  He still has days that feel as though he's still on the stuff.  Hope you see improvement soon.

                  Hi back to you!  I think of you so often, I guess because you began interferon about the time we did, and I think our men are close in age.  I'm still keeping you both in prayer.   We take each day as a gift and try to do the same with  each moment.  Love and blessings to you and Buddy.
