      My primary spot was located im my upper right arm, facing my chest. I go to the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa city. My doctor is a melanoma specialist, Dr. Milham, his way of "dealing" with my stress about these things is having me visit more often, which sucks even more because i live 2 hrs away… I have my apt. today at 1pm. And i dont think I can handle him or my surgeon giving me the run around again. Has anyone reasearched ipi? I dont think im eligable for the study, but it sounds great.

      well, at my dianosis i went in for immediate removal, The main spot was removed 3 times in 4 weeks, along with a centinal node biopsy, which came back with a tumor, but they said that the didnt want to advance in treatment becasue they didnt THINK it would do anything. My original diagnosis was stage 3 metastatic melanoma. (ps, i cant spell to save my life!) I havent actually asked for a recent stage diagnosis because everytime im there i just get so angry…

      thank you for you fast reply, i have been sitting here for hours just pondering what will happen on thursday.
