      Hi Jewel: I have been NED for 10.5 years, with only one month of hi-dose Interferon (had to quit after two weeks on low-dose) and 5 positive axillary nodes under left arm. Original site was mole on my upper left back. I have had some scares but non proved to be the melanoma coming back. Keep the faith. It DOES happen. I remain vigilant and have regular scans and bloodwork.
