Redo.. forst got posted as Annonymous by mistake…
Hello… I posted about gamma knife the other day.. but realized I am not really sure how concerned we should be rearding a brain met appearing.. 2 years post gamma knife and 2 years into Immunotherapy? My mom is not BRAF positive. Her initial brain mets were 3 and small. Now 2 years later as far as we know there is 1. Per my last post going to talk to Dr about not coming off immunotherapy as planned. But I am not sure at this stage of the game what it means when Brain Met comes back.. what the overall trend is. is it possible they will come back more and the immunotherapy has lost its umph so to speak…?
To be honest the immunotherapy has become such a routine and Mom has been doing great overall with everything else calmed down. so its all felt pretty low key compared to others tough roads…I dont want to be naive though…she started at stage 1 and became stage 4 and we were not expecting that. I also understand that for other types of brain cancers this would be a very not good scenario.. but melaoma seems to be a little different..
Any input on mets recurrence while on immunotherapy or couple of years out appreciated.
Thanks so much!
