      Hi, all Anyone experience or hear of mets inside the stomach?  My most recent PET scan showed activity that has just been confirmed as melanoma. I also have mets in the knee bone, lungs and brain.  I completed yervoy in March, had brain SRS in March and May.  Lung mets shrunk 65%, everything else remained stable.  We assumed yervoy was working.  Now this new situation.  I'm on steroids and scheduled to start Zelboraf on Tuesday. Any feedback would be appreciated

      Thanks!

          My friend is in my sister trial…on BMS Anti PD 1…all of her mets have shrunk away and some are a few mm when they use to be grapefruit size…but she has a couple in the lining of her stomach…its really like a layer of fat outside the stomach is sort of how she explained it. Those to haven't grown or shrunk…wonder if something in the mechanics of the stomach is at play…

              thanks, Lynn.   Seems like more than a coincidence, especially with the results she's having on other tumors.  I'll be following up with onc and gastro docs Tuesday.  Take care!
