      Allen,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with your first Interferon treatment.  I have an appointment with my oncologist this afternoon to begin my own treatment cycle, so reading about your 1st treatment experience was insightful.

      Best of luck to you as you continue in your treatment.

      Does anyone REALLY KNOW what causes melanoma?  I fit part of the typical profile of "risk" factors (see blog link below), yet my melanoma was on my right rib cage in an area that received little to no sun.  I'm new to this MM journey (less than 2 months in) and scared half to death about it.

      Thanks, Frank, for sharing the links.  

      There happens to be only clinical trials involving Interferon within my traveling area at the current time.  I know nothing about Leukine treatment, so again, thanks for that link.  It is something more for me to learn about.  :' ) And I have said numerous times to my students…. we are always learning until the day we die.
