        Hi.  I was just recently(last week) offered a spot in this trial.  I had done my homework and knew what to expect with Interferon, but I wasn't expecting the Ipi option.  The 10mg side effects scared me.  I haven't yet made a decision on whether to do the trial or not.  I am currently stage IIIb, resected scalp melanoma 1mm, 1 node micromet.  I'm really not sure what direction to go.  How has your husband's experience been with the Ipi 10mg?  Thank you so much.
