              there were only two listed, Dr. Suppiah and the other was Dr. Biggs who treated my mother-in-law, she passed away last August, and she was one of many who did a trial on a medication, unsure of the specifics…Michelle

                        It never crossed my mind to see if my doctor specialized in melanoma.  This is something I will look into immediately.  I go on Tuesday for a class to discuss what is going to happen with the Interferon.  I know that my doctor stated that with my history with my liver, the benefit outweights the risk.  I see it that way, but then I don't.  I was shocked to say the least when he wanted to put me into therapy, because I am only stage IIC.  My thoughts were originally whatever will help, especially being so young.

                        It is nice to know there are other people who understand, because it has been so much information in such a short time.  Thank you…Michelle

                            I have never even hear of immunostains or step sections.  Did your doctor explain to you what they are?

                                  Well also congratulations, a negative can also be a postive.  I was just advised the same, so I was staged IIC, but I start the Interferon on the 23rd.  Good luck…Michelle
