Last January my wife made me go see our family doc about a mole on my wrist/forearm I've had my whole life it was about a quarter inch around but in the last year it started growing, outward, not alot but enough for me to check. My family doc said it was nothing but just get it removed within the next year. I had made an appt with a derm for the first part of Feb. In January the mole had grown about less than 3/16" outward, long story short I was drying after a shower and rubbed it and it started bleeding and wouldn't stop. The hospital said to get an appt IMMEDIATLY!! so I found a Dermatologist who could see me sooner, had it removed and was Diagnosed w/stage 3c malignant melanoma 6.4ml deep in center none on the edges. On the plus side all my scans xrays and tests came back neg!!! YAAA!!! My doc at the Washington hospital cancer center went back cut more out and pulled my lymph nodes, this checked out clean also, Battin a thousand so far, My question is Interferon treatment, would you do it?
