Thank you! This is the kind of stuff I was looking for. I'm happy to hear there are better treatments becoming available. From what I understand, Yervoy is not approved for Stage 2? Is there any evidence that Yervoy or interferon can help prevent a Stage 2 diagnosis from advancing to Stage 3?

I'm only diagnosed as Stage 2C. From what I understand, Yervoy is only approved for Stage 3 and 4, even in the States. Even if it's in clinical trials for Stage 2, I doubt I'll be able to get it here in Korea, but I'll ask.

The doctor I saw here is actually the leading melanoma expert in Korea, so if I want to see anyone more knowledgeable, I'd have to quit my job and move back to the States. I certainly don't want to do that, but if it becomes necessary, I will. Then of course I'd have to get my insurance situation sorted in the States… that $250,000 a year for treatment is certainly worrisome for me going back to the States unemployed and uninsured.

I think at this point, I'm going to just go with "watch and wait." I'll be getting quarterly checkups (ultrasound), and if the Stage 3 diagnosis comes, I'll pack up and move back to the States for treatment.
