      Hi Simone,

       

      Sorry you are here on this board with us. Different treatments work for different people. My husband did IL-2 then surgery to resect the rest. He has been disease free hopefully a year next week. If you are young and healthy is IL-2 or IPI available to you?  These are treatments you may want to consider.

      Good luck and know you are not alone. We are all fighting together.
