              I had my car windows tinted too.  I'm not on Zelboraf, but I spend a lot of time in my car and wanted to make sure I was protected.  There are tints now that offer about 99% percent protection that are clear.  So if you don't want darkened windows, you don't have to have them.

                    The "Interferon…yes or no" decision is a very personal one.  I don't think anyone can criticize or question your choice since only you have been in your shoes.  

                    There was at least one study that demonstrated that the high dose alone is just as effective as the whole year.  I don't have the link to it, but I'd be willing to bet someone will post it.

                    Hang in there!

                                Replies like yours are really disturbing to me.  "Buying crappy time?"  Really?  Are you in a position to decide, for anyone but yourself, what "crappy" time is?  I think not. 

                                If I'm one of those people that gets some extra time before a recurrence because I went through this year, then it's worth every day of treatment.  If I'm not…well I tried, and I won't have any regrets.
