I am so sorry that your husband and family are having to go through this.  My husband completed his 4 weeks of high dose and the low dose 3x a week with very few side effects.  The first four weeks, he scheduled the dose towards the end of the day as he didn't want to miss work.  In the beginning he would have flulike symptoms kick in about an hour and a half after receiving the dose,  he would go straight to bed and was feeling much better the next morning.  He didn't miss a day of work and even resumed officiating basketball. He didn't receive any pet scans until he had been off the Interferon for six weeks.  If I were to do this again, I would insist that pet scans be done.  When he did receive the pet scan results, his melanoma had spread. Remember, no two bodies are alike, and there's no guarantee of ned.  Trust his and your instincts and don't be afraid to question his doctor.
