It does seem to get like that. We all hope the finger will not linger and all of the research will show us the silver lining. In the mean time we wait, Study. Listen and explore for a miracle.

I am currently enrolled in the POL-103a trial. Started in June. I had a excision of the melanoma in the upper right arm. with a 0.81-mm thick lesion extending to Clark level IV. One mitosis present per mm2. A Sentinel biopsy was performed which showed a small amount of residual melanoma in situ in the wide excision specimen. A solitary right axillary SLN demonstarated clear-cut metastasis. Staging set at IIIA

The right axilla lymph odes were excised in April and a subsequent PTscan indicated n further sites.

The choice was interfuron but after consultation with three independent oncologists and at 72 years of age although in excellent health I decided not to go that route but to watch carefully.

I started the Trial in June. The trial did extensive pre trial testing. MRI's, CTScan, eye exam and extensive blood work before acceptance. time consuming and expensive if you were not in a trial. So there were additional benefits. Received 4 injections two weeks apart for the first 10 weeks along with extensive blood work, EKG's and physical inspection.

Now going once every 4 weeks for 3 months and then every three months. I am scheduled for additional MRI, CT Scan and Eye exam.

There is little to no reaction from the drug or placebo. Just a short skin irritation for the first 6-10 hours. Then again, I might be receiving the placebo. I also see my Oncologist for testing on a three month basis.

In my situation I preferred to go the no interfuron route for side effect reasons and to microscopy my condition???

Would be interested in any other patients in the study.

No noticeable side effects. Injection sites show little redness or swelling after a few hours. Then I could be receiving the placebo. Waiting until enough patients are enrolled (think they require 90) through 10 weeks to unmask. The amount of medical following for now is the benefit. Lots and lots of blood work plus I am scheduled for more MRI's, and CT scan's Jan 2. They pick up the tab. Hoping they show nothing.
