        Also, my husband's original tumor was 2.6 mm thick with ulceration. His father has nodular melanoma and has undergone 7 surgeries so far in addition to interferon. My husband has not started any treatment as of now and we will be discussing Clinical Trials while at his dr appt at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis,

                    Thank you for replying Tim 🙂 Yes I've done a lot of research on adjuvent therapies and Interferon seems to be the norm for his case, but his Oncologist doesn't have a very high opinion of it and doesn't think it will help in his case I suppose. As of right now it's just waiting for it to come back, which his Onc. thinks will happen……
