I am a Stage III melanoma patient.  During Phase II of interferon treatments (self-injected 3 times a week treatment), my melanoma returned on my upper left thigh.  I am very discouraged by this news.  Is this revealing that the interferon treatments are not effective on me?  My oncologist told me that interferon does not work on everyone.
Ya interferons not work on every patient. You may have gone for change of chemotherapy. Your disease need to be restaged and investigated before proceeding to change of treatment.
