        @Hawaii Bob,

        Just curious, but did you have Interferon treatment for Stage IIA?

        I'm aware that different countries have their own approach to melanoma treatment, but Japan, where I am, is particularly conservative. I'm nearing the end of three ten day courses of Interferon for Stage IIA, whereas an Australian doctor would tell me I didn't need treatment.
