      After stopping YERVOY treatments at 4 due to side effects of neuropathy  , numbness in feet and legs, I'm being advised RADIATION is a possible treatment.

              Yes.  I had CyberKnife to treat my third lung met in the lower left lobe after two VATS.  The targeted radiation was easy and all remains clear in that lobe.  I do have another met now in the upper left lobe.  I am undecided whether to treat that surgically or with radiation.  Without a doubt the CyberKnife was a piece of cake compared to the surgery, but I believe surgery continues to be the recommended treatment for resectable melanoma.  Best wishes to you!
