        I am a 3b patient and haven't started any treatment yet. All that i have heard about is either interferon or the clinical study of Yervoy. These two seem to be the go too drug. I am very interested in this zelboraf drug. Could you give me an idea which institutions offer this. I am heading to Sloan in NYC at the end of the month and was hoping that that might be an option. Still confused and still grasping for answers

              I too am a stage 3b male melanoma patient. I have yet to decide which treatment i want to do. My wife and I are going to Sloan at the end of the month for a consultation. I would love to share stories with you to see what made you go with interferon, as opposed to a clinical study. As you know it is very confusing and scary to decide which treatment will help. It would be nice to correspond with someone going through this, and be able to share info, and for morale support.

                    The big question is what was the alternative treatment. My oncologist doesn't paint a pretty picture for this medicine and claims @ 80% don't finish. He hasn't really answered the question of what happens if i quit it. What are you in place of it, if anything
