        I was 38 when I was originally diagnosed with microscopic melanoma in 2/4 lymphnodes removed via snb, also had a dissection of right axillary lymphnodes, this started april 2009. At the time I chose not to persue interferon, used the watch and wait. In Jan 30 2013 my pet scan showed melanoma in my right clavicle. I had surgery in feb 2013. I am going to participate in a study with the zelboraf. However, each person has to make their own personal choices. I felt then, and still feel that the interferon is not the right option for me. I am currently considered disease free, and pray everyday to remain so. Good luck to you. ( I did test positive for BRAF)
