        I was in your boat last year. I was given the choice of interferon or a clinical trial but only if I was seriously considering interferon, and I was not. So I did observation and here I am at my I year mark with matastasis to more lymph nodes and liver. I myself don’t know what to do but want you to know that staying positive is so helpful. I don’t know if you believe in a higher power or are a spiritual person but that has helped me. I now have a choice to make, conventional therapy, which is ipilimumab and nivolumab or leave this country and try something that has little to no side effects. Please look into hope4cancer.com you can call them and they will go over everything with you. I am still on the fence and get more and more confused everyday. However I do believe they are on point and have been researching this since 1960! Good luck to you and hope that it is in God’s will to get us both through this. I will prat for you.
