Melanoma Recurrence What Is The Best Treatment For Vaginal Malignant Melanoma Stage 2c ?

I went to therapy with interferon for at least a year or longer. I want to start as soon as possible. Interferon is a potent drug that can make depressed, but he has a tremendous potential for cancer, which is also the best way to avoid another melanoma. 3 million units, the lowest dose for melanoma. I would ask you to 5 or 10 million units 3 times per week. The costs are the same at the higher dose. I hope you have prescription drug insurance and interferon is very expensive. Otherwise I would be in the assistance programs to patients and maybe you can get free medication if you have a very low income. Your doctor should have already learned, this with you. Aggressive obtained with self-care and further treatment. Remember to complain that the wheel, we get fat - or in this case, interferon.
Advice at the beginning of an antidepressant at the time, that interferon is good. We also know that the side effects of interferon by ibuprofen or paracetamol for a few hours can be minimized after each injection of interferon. Wait Tor tired and do not need much sleep. Allow to relax and things simple. In some people, to reduce the side effects, as time passes. Since he had no lymph node involvement have an opportunity to be healed, and although treatment with interferon is very difficult to be cured has a large head in comparison to doing nothing to prevent a second or recurrent melanoma. Good luck

I am currently in 3x per week. 3 million seems low, since I take 20 mg. Your doctor may also recommend taking Prozac during the treatment.
Interferon is the only treatment for melanoma.
Why not treated within two months? Interferon strengthen your immune system to reduce the likelihood of cancer recurrence.
I'm cured of stage 4 cancer using habanero peppers, garlic and fish oil. But if I ulcers, I would have used evening primrose oil instead of fish-oil emulsion.
Grate two cloves of garlic per day each. Grate a pepper a day. Set them up with bread and butter.
When it is hot, but you can eat bread and stop the fever. It will make your tears to the eyes, and breath for 30 seconds, to a large extent, but it's really good.
I was completely healed in two weeks. When I chemo, I had died 9 years ago.
Your doctor will adjust the success rate of interferon. Interferon kills more people than it cures. In one study, the only person that healing was a guy who had at least 9,000 mg of vitamin C per day. I know because I saw him at a conference.
Good luck!

My 2 cents. Prayers work miracles.
